Welcome to BMC Genomics published by BioMed Central
BMC Genomics is an open access journal publishing original peer-reviewed research articles in all aspects of genome-scale analysis, functional genomics, and proteomics.
BMC Genomics (ISSN 1471-2164) is indexed/tracked/covered by PubMed, MEDLINE, BIOSIS, CAS, EMBASE, Scopus, Zoological Record, Thomson Reuters (ISI) and Google Scholar.
Featured articles
BMC Genomics 2009, 10 :546
Phylogenetically conserved expression patterns in spermatogenesis and testis-specific genes of the male rainbow trout are shown by transcriptome analysis, identifying new pathways involved during spermatogonia self-renewal, meiosis and gamete differentiation.
BMC Genomics 2009, 10 :545
Heregulin and EGF bind the same receptor and induce similar early responses in breast cancer cells, but a later sequence of transcription factors induced only by heregulin, including FosL1 and FHL2, suppresses ERK signaling to give differentiation rather than proliferation
BMC Genomics 2009, 10 :539
Comparative analysis of the polyploid genomes of Brassica rapa and Arabidopsis thaliana reveals many unanticipated collinearity blocks and frequent segmental inversions, shedding new light on genome evolution within the Brassicaceae.
BMC Genomics 2009, 10 :525
Among 2,200 expressed genes identified in the fungivorus nematode Aphelenchus avenae, there are a set of genes encode cell-wall-degrading enzymes, indicating that this nematode also feeds on plants, and supporting the idea that plant parasitism has evolved from fungal feeding.
BMC Genomics 2009, 10 :499
The antiproliferative effects of vitamin D on a breast tumour cell line persist despite knockdown of the vitamin D receptor gene, and variants resistant to these anti-proliferative effects do not show changes in known vitamin D signaling pathway genes.
