Issaouane Erg Issaouane Erg The Issaouane Erg (also called Issaouane-N-Irrararene) is an approximately 38,000 km erg (sand sea) in Algeria's portion of the Sahara desert, located at . The Issaouane Erg is located near the Ahaggar Mountains. It is part of a major dune field that extends from Issaouane Erg in the north to the Sudanese Erg in the south, flanked by the Libyan erg of Murzuq. In the north, the Issaouane Erg ends at the Tinrhert Plateau and in the south at the Fadnoun Plateau. To a large extent it follows the 500-m contour of the surrounding landscape, ergs mostly being
ERG (gene) applications in using blood stem cells for tissue repair, transplantation and other therapeutic applications. This gene can be classified as a proto-oncogene. During chromosomal translocations that occur in cell division, "ERG" can accidentally get stuck onto a different chromosome than where it belongs. This is analogous to another translocation, the Philadelphia chromosome. This results in fusion gene products, which can have bad consequences for cells. Examples of these fusion gene products would be TMPRSS2-ERG and NDRG1-ERG in prostate cancer, EWS-ERG in Ewing’s sarcoma, and FUS-ERG in acute myeloid leukemia. DNA binding protein ERG fuses with RNA binding proteins EWS and
