    How 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.

  • Profiling 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.

    Twin wallaby thymuses

    Transcriptome analysis of the thoracic and the cervical thymuses of the tammar wallaby shows that both are functionally equivalent and have comparable patterns of gene expression suggesting an identical role in T-cell development.

Quote

Sally Blower
"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."
