BMC Genomics 2012, 13:52Fruitfly genes in zero-g
Drosophila melanogaster fruit flies raised in a zero-gravity environment created by a superconducting magnet show substantial changes in the expression of many essential genes, suggesting that extended weightlessness during space flight could also potentially have negative effects on cellular processes.

BMC Genomics 2011, 12:554Standardizing reptilian gene names
A new genetic nomenclature for the anole lizard genus, which contains important emerging model species, offers a standardized gene vocabulary and also presents a template for similar initiatives in other research communities.

BMC Genomics 2011, 12:452How pigeons produce "milk"
Male and female pigeons can produce a nutrient "milk" in their crops to feed their young, due to expression changes in a substantial number of genes in the lactating crop, resulting in a very nutrient rich solution.

BMC Genomics 2011, 12:439Profiling healthy and diseased tissues
Gene Expression Templates (GET) can be used to identify the normal physiological state of various human tissues, with variation from this template allowing the identification of cancerous tissues and cell lines.

BMC Genomics 2011, 12:421Wallaby MHC shows major alterations
The wallaby major histocompatibility complex of genes (MHC) has undergone genomic remodeling that includes gene duplication and reorganization of gene clusters since the American and Australian marsupials last shared a common ancestor.

Quote
"I strongly believe in the internet and open-access publishing in order to achieve scientific outreach both within academia and outside academia. Open-access allows anyone in the world with access to a computer to access scientific research. These innovative journals are becoming extremely successful and will change the nature of scientific publishing and increase the accessibility of science."
