PacBio trumps Illumina in genome assembly challenge

Comparison of PacBio RS single-molecule, realtime (SMRT) sequencing with Illumina HiSeq2000 technology reveals PacBio to be more accurate than Illumina in the de novo assembly of a chloroplast genome due to longer read lengths and lower GC bias.

Cold adaptation in Antarctic fish

Comparative transcriptome analysis of the Antarctic fish P. Borchgrevinki, identifies genes involved in cold adaptation and provides insight into the evolution of molecular mechanisms for fish survival in different water temperatures - an important feature during climate change.

New method to predict miRNA target mRNAs

Based on mRNA expression data, BayMiR estimates the extent down-regulated genes are under the control of miRNAs and predicts the mRNA targets while considering the impact of other miRNAs.

Non-toxic wheat aphid control

Transcriptome profiling of wheat aphid alimentary canal identifies 5 novel and effective target genes for potential aphid control in wheat through a plant-mediated RNA interference (RNAi) strategy.

Wild albino gorilla Snowflake is inbred

A phenotypically unique gorilla carries a private non-synonymous substitution in a transmembrane domain in SLC45A2, one of the candidate genes associated with the OCA4 class of albinism

Chicken ovary miRNA profiles

Using a small RNA deep sequencing method on sexually immature and mature chicken ovaries differentially expressed miRNAs were identified and validated, including gga-miR-1a and gga-miR-21 thereby indicating a role in the follicular growth or ovulation mechanism.

Scope

BMC Genomics is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on all aspects of genome-scale analysis, functional genomics, and proteomics.

It is journal policy to publish work deemed by peer reviewers to be a coherent and sound addition to scientific knowledge and to put less emphasis on interest levels, provided that the research constitutes a useful contribution to the field.
