Recent findings about the core of the circadian oscillator in cyanobacteria are challenging the dogma that such clocks are driven through transcriptional-translational feedback regulation. Instead, the master pacemaker is independent of both transcription ...

Canary song is hierarchically structured: Short stereotyped syllables are repeated to form phrases, which in turn are arranged to form songs. This structure occurs even in the songs of young isolates, which suggests that innate rules govern canary song dev ...
The mammalian circadian timing system is composed of a central pacemaker in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the brain and subsidiary oscillators in most peripheral cell types. While oscillators in SCN neurons are known to function in a self-sustained ...
MOTIVATION: Despite the success and popularity of oligonucleotide arrays as a high-throughput technique for measuring mRNA expression levels, quantitative calibration studies have until now been limited. The main reason is that suitable data was not availa ...
Effector CD4+ T cells rapidly activate high-level cytokine expression following TCR stimulation. Consistent with accelerated protein production in these cells, global mRNA profiles revealed that, after cytokines, the most impressive cluster of activated ge ...
We performed parallel array comparative genomic hybridization and array expression analysis of the 12p11-p12 amplicon in human testicular seminomas and an ovarian carcinoma cell line using an expressed sequence tags (ESTs) array spotted with 8254 ESTs. The ...
Oligonucleotide microarrays are based on the hybridization of labeled mRNA molecules to short length oligonucleotide probes on a glass surface. Two effects have been shown to affect the raw data: the sequence dependence of the probe hybridization propertie ...
RNA binding to high-density oligonucleotide arrays has shown tantalizing differences with solution experiments. We analyze here its sequence specificity, fitting binding affinities to sequence composition in large datasets. Our results suggest that the flu ...
The molecular mechanism underlying pluripotency is largely unknown. Here, we provide the first global transcriptional profile of the state of "stemness" in human embryonic stem cells (HESCs). We have identified a set of 918 genes enriched in undifferentiat ...
This article describes methods used to evaluate mRNA expression patterns on microarrays and their application in circadian biology. With the intention of complementing rather than duplicating the existing literature, particular emphasis is placed on experi ...
