Selective neuronal toxicity of cocaine in embryonic mouse brain cocultures.

abstract：:Microbes whose genomes are encoded by DNA and for which adequate information is available display similar genomic mutation rates (average 0.0034 mutations per chromosome replication, range 0.0025 to 0.0046). However, this value currently is based on only a few well characterized microbes reproducing within a narrow ra...
