Grand Erg Oriental only national flights. In Libya Ghadames Airport schedules only national flights. In Tunisia Djerba–Zarzis Airport (DJE/DTTJ) serves international and national flights, it being over 100 km. north of the edge of the "Grand Erg Oriental". Grand Erg Oriental The Grand Erg Oriental (English: 'Great Eastern Sand Sea') is a large "erg" or "field of sand dunes" in the Sahara Desert. Situated for the most part in Saharan lowlands of northeast Algeria, the Grand Erg Oriental covers an area some 600 km wide by 200 km north to south. The erg's northeastern edge spills over into neighbouring Tunisia. The Grand Erg
ERG (gene) TLS/FUS in Ewing's sarcoma and acute myeloid leukemias respectively and function as transcriptional activators. ERG and its fusion proteins EWS-ERG and TLS/FUS-ERG inhibit apoptosis. "ERG" can fuse with TMPRSS2 protein to form an oncogenic fusion gene that is commonly found in human prostate cancer, especially in hormone-refractory prostate cancer. This suggests that "ERG" overexpression may contribute to development of androgen-independence in prostate cancer through disruption of androgen receptor signaling. The fusion gene is critical to the progression of cancer because it inhibits the androgen receptor expression and it binds and inhibits androgen receptors already present in the cell. Essentially TMPRSS2-ERG
