The important fish bacterial pathogen Aliivibrio salmonicida has a highly fragmented genome disrupted by many insertion sequence elements, and having lost function in several chitinase genes is restricted in the range of organisms it can infect.
A new interface, SPRINT, allows statistical analyses written in the R programming language to be run on high performance computing systems without the need for specialist programming to exploit parallel processors.
Locust small RNAs Wei Y, Chen S, Yang P, Ma Z, Kang L / 16 January 2009
High-throughput sequencing of the small RNA transcriptome of locust reveals differences in post-transcriptional regulation between solitary and swarming phases and provides insights into the evolution of insect small RNAs.
Streptomyces coelicolor microarrays Bucca G, Laing E, Mersinias V, Allenby N, Hurd D, Holdstock J, Brenner V, Harrison M, Smith CP / 16 January 2009
Development of high-density microarrays for global analysis of gene expression and transcription factor binding in Streptomyces coelicolor suggests a novel role for HspR in stress adaptation.
The evolution of imprinting Pask AJ, Papenfuss AT, Ager EI, McColl KA, Speed TP, Renfree MB / 02 January 2009
Comparisons between the platypus and eutherian mammalian genomes provides new insights into how epigenetic imprinting may have evolved in mammalian genomes.
Two genome sequences of diatoms, marine single-celled photosynthetic eukaryotes that often have ornate cell walls, give insights into their metabolic and signaling systems.
The identification of links between exons and their regulators or targets and between co-spliced exons in human, mouse and rat provides novel insights into the alternative splicing regulatory network.
