Density correlations in ultracold atomic Fermi gases
We investigate density fluctuations in a coherent ensemble of interacting
fermionic atoms. Adapting the concept of full counting statistics, well-known
from quantum optics and mesoscopic electron transport, we study second-order as
well as higher-order correlators of density fluctuations. Using the mean-field
BCS state to describe the whole interval between the BCS limit and the BEC
limit, we obtain an exact expression for the cumulant-generating function of
the density fluctuations of an atomic cloud. In the two-dimensional case, we
obtain a closed analytical expression. Poissonian fluctuations of a molecular
condensate on the BEC side are strongly suppressed on the BCS side. The size of
the fluctuations in the BCS limit is a direct measure of the pairing potential.
We also discuss the BEC-BCS crossover of the third cumulant and the temperature
dependence of the second cumulant.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures. To appear in Phys. Rev. A. New calculation of the

Homologs of genes and anonymous loci on human Chromosome 13 map to mouse Chromosomes 8 and 14
To enhance the comparative map for human Chromosome (Chr) 13, we identified clones for human genes and anonymous loci that cross-hybridized with their mouse homologs and then used linkage crosses for mapping. Of the clones for four genes and twelve anonymous loci tested, cross-hybridization was found for six, COL4A1, COL4A2, D13S26, D13S35, F10, and PCCA. Strong evidence for homology was found for COL4A1, COL4A2, D13S26, D13S35, and F10, but only circumstantial homology evidence was obtained for PCCA. To genetically map these mouse homologs ( Cf10, Col4a1, Col4a2, D14H13S26, D8H13S35 , and Pcca-rs ), we used interspecific and intersubspecific mapping panels. D14H13S26 and Pcca-rs were located on the distal portion of mouse Chr 14 extending by ∼30 cM the conserved linkage between human Chr 13 and mouse Chr 14, assuming that Pcca-rs is the mouse homolog of PCCA. By contrast, Cf10, Col4a1, Col4a2 , and D8H13S35 mapped near the centromere of mouse Chr 8, defining a new conserved linkage. Finally, we identified either a closely linked sequence related to Col4a2 , or a recombination hot-spot between Col4a1 and Col4a2 that has been conserved in humans and mice.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/47022/1/335_2004_Article_BF00352413.pd

Four novel members of the connexin family of gap junction proteins. Molecular cloning, expression, and chromosome mapping.
We have used low stringency hybridization and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification with degenerate oligonucleotides to identify four new members of the rat connexin gene family. On the basis of their predicted molecular mass, these proteins have been designated connexin (Cx) 40 (Cx40), Cx37, Cx33, and Cx31.1. The new connexins exhibit all of the conserved structural features of the connexin family, including highly similar extracellular and transmembrane domains but divergent major cytoplasmic domains. On the basis of primary sequence similarity, the connexin family may be divided into two classes. Cx40, Cx37, and Cx33 are similar to the previously characterized Cx43 and Cx46. Cx31.1 is similar to Cx26, Cx31, and Cx32. Cx37 and Cx40 mRNAs are expressed in a wide variety of adult organs and tissues, with particular abundance in lung. However, their relative levels are different in many organs and thus their distribution is not completely coincident. Cx33 and Cx31.1 genes exhibit a much more restricted pattern of expression; mRNAs are detected only in testes and skin, respectively. Chromosomal mapping studies indicate that Cx26 and Cx46 are tightly linked on chromosome 14, and Cx37 and Cx31.1 are linked on chromosome 4, while the rest of the connexin genes are dispersed
