A cursor is a SELECT statement defined in PL/SQL code that points to an allocated memory area called the context area containing information needed to process rows returned by a query. Cursors are declared, opened to initialize the result set, rows are fetched from the result set into variables, and then the cursor is closed. There are explicit cursors defined and named by the user, and implicit cursors that Oracle handles automatically for DML statements. Cursor attributes provide information like whether a row was found, the number of rows affected, and whether a cursor is open.
The ArthropodEST pipeline is a web-accessible tool developed at Kansas State University that allows users to analyze expressed sequence tags (ESTs). It cleans input sequences, screens for contaminants, clusters ESTs into contigs through assembly, and predicts open reading frames and signal peptides. Users can access analysis results and a summary report through a unique URL sent to their email. The pipeline utilizes freely available bioinformatics software and provides more options for EST analysis than other existing online tools.
This document describes a study that used molecular docking to evaluate 9-substituted adenine derivatives as inhibitors of phosphodiesterase type-4 (PDE4) in order to assess their potential anti-inflammatory effects. The study used docking software to predict how well the adenine derivatives could bind to and inhibit the PDE4 enzyme. A total of 22 adenine derivative compounds were analyzed in the docking studies. The results aimed to identify promising lead compounds for further investigation as potential new anti-inflammatory drug candidates.
