The genome sequence of the bacterium Aeromonas salmonicida and the comparison of it to Aeromonas hydrophila yields new insights into the evolution and virulence factors that cause furunculusis, a bacterial septicaemia, in salmonid fish.
BMC Genomics 2008, 9 :425
Comparative genomics of small RNA regulatory components - miRNA, siRNA and piRNA - in the three important mosquito vectors reveals novel motifs indicating that a variety of transcription control mechanisms operate in mosquito anti-viral defense pathways.
BMC Genomics 2008, 9 :408
A combination of microarrays, RNA interference and comparative genomics uncovered direct regulatory targets of Sox10, a transcription factor implicated in the development of several important cell lineages, including the peripheral glia.
BMC Genomics 2008, 9 :372
Subolesin is a conserved protein recently found in Ixodes scapularis that plays a role in tick blood digestion, reproduction and development, and is now implicated in the modulation of genes involved in multiple cellular pathways.
BMC Genomics 2008, 9 :355
The splicing efficiency of an S. cerevisiae ribosomal protein intron is shown by modeling to be tightly controlled by structural branchpoint distances, highlighting the importance of pre-mRNA secondary structure in splicing.
