The beginning of this millennium has been marked by some remarkable scientific events, notably the completion of the first objective of the Human Genome Project [HGP], i.e., the decoding of the 3 billion bases that compose the human genome. This success ha ...
The genetic diversity of cyanobacterial communities was studied at various depths in Lake Kinneret (Israel). Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) of specific 16S rRNA gene PCR products showed significant differences in the cyanobacterial communit ...
As the focus of human genetics shifts from Mendelian traits to complex diseases, a sophisticated genetic tool kit—with space for genetics (classical, molecular, statistical, and quantitative), metabolics, proteomics, bioinformatics, and mathematics—is requ ...
With a gene required for each phenotypic trait, direct genetic encodings may show poor scalability to increasing phenotype length. Developmental systems may alleviate this problem by providing more efficient indirect genotype to phenotype mappings. A novel ...
Gene transfer in eukaryotic cells and organisms suffers from epigenetic effects that result in low or unstable transgene expression and high clonal variability. Use of epigenetic regulators such as matrix attachment regions (MARs) is a promising approach t ...
Centrifuge is a user-friendly system to simultaneously access Arabidopsis gene annotations and intra- and inter-organism sequence comparison data. The tool allows rapid retrieval of user-selected data for each annotated Arabidopsis gene providing, in any c ...
The developmental regulation of vertebrate Hox gene transcription relies on the interplay between local and long-range controls. To study this complex genomic organization, we designed a strategy combining meiotic and targeted recombinations to induce larg ...
Pathogens are a main driving force of the evolution of plants and animals. Being resistant to diseases confers a high selective advantage to hosts, yet many host–pathogen systems show a remarkable degree of polymorphism of host resistance and pathogen viru ...
The study of mouse models is crucial for the functional annotation of the human genome. The recent improvements in mouse genetics now moved the bottleneck in mouse functional genomics from the generation of mutant mice lines to the phenotypic analysis of t ...
An important aspect of the development of systems biology approaches in metazoans is the characterization of expression patterns of nearly all genes predicted from genome sequences. Such "localizome" maps should provide information on where (in what cells ...
