Featured articles
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.
BMC Genomics 2009, 10 :467
An oligo-based microarray derived from over 30,000 melon (Cucumis melo) ESTs provides a platform for the functional genomic study of experimental conditions such as fruit quality and response to viral and fungal infections.
BMC Genomics 2009, 10 :454
The development of a huge set of microsatellite markers assembled from a globe artichoke "expressed sequence tag" database provides the foundation for studying the evolution, genetic diversity, and genetic basis of phenotypic variation of this and related taxa.
BMC Genomics 2009, 10 :447
Genome-scale metabolic modeling of Rhodoferax ferrireducens reveals that while key enzymes for growth via photosynthesis or sugar fermentation are missing, growth of this Fe(III)-reducing bacterium on many different substrates in nutrient-depleted environments is possible.
BMC Genomics 2009, 10 :417
Low-dose irradiation of human keratinocytes induces binding of the transcription factor GATA3 to promoters of low-dose radiation response genes, while knockdown of GATA3 leads to generalized transcriptional deregulation following exposure, and also reduced cell survival.
