BMC Genomics 2010, 11 :28
A transcriptome map of the chicken genome shows that clusters of highly expressed genes have higher gene densities, shorter genes, shorter introns and a higher GC content than regions of genes that are expressed at lower levels.
BMC Genomics 2010, 11 :24
Bleomycin, which causes DNA double-strand breaks, induces the p53-dependent DNA damage response in cells deficient in RAD54/Rad54 but mitomycin C does not, suggesting a role for these homologous recombination repair proteins in recognising DNA crosslink damage.
BMC Genomics 2010, 11 :12
Metalloregulator Cg2502, a zinc uptake regulator (Zur) of the ferric uptake regulator family, controls zinc metabolism in Corynebacterium glutamicum by binding the promoters of five transcription units and repressing, in a zinc-dependent manner, the nine genes they contain.
BMC Genomics 2010, 11 :2
The complete sequence of the Asian pome fruit fire blight pathogen Erwinia pyrifoliae, and its comparison with other related genomes, sheds light on the genetics of host-range, virulence and pathogenicity in this genus of bacteria.
BMC Genomics 2009, 10 :641
The stationary phase stress response of the bacterial pathogen Listeria monocytogenes is characterized by comparing the transcriptomes of stationary phase bacteria with those of an otherwise isogenic strain lacking a regulator critical for virulence, sigma factor B.
