Human chromosome 11q
7 of 7 Transfections contain between 200 to 241 nucleotides from
chromosome 11q
The actual lengths of the 11q match region is dependent on the individual
lengths of the Transfection sequences;
Maximum Transfection length is 339 bases and this specimen matches
241 bases in the 11 q reference sequence
Shorter Transfection sequences with lengths of approximately 300 bases
demonstrate 100% matches
with the reference 11q sequences but are "truncated" to lengths
dependent on the total Transfection sequence length

DQ132793.1
Demonstrates a contribution of a Plasmid of Borrelia
burgdorferi , Bo126plasmid B0126_lp36 (Accession
CP001567.1) to the 5' end (approximately covering
positions 1-94) Click here to see sequence
Note: The Plasmids of Borrelia species
are subject to genetic changes over
time. Considering the hypothesis that
Borrelia infections in each of the 7
Alzheimer's patients occurred 30 years
or more before they died,it is plausible
to postulate that the nucleotide
sequences of the plasmids underwent
genetic changes which would result in
partial sequence change diversities as
compared with specimens currently on
file in the NCBI Database
