    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.

    Undergrads sequence California sea lion

    A 15-week Ecological Metagenomics course at San Diego State University brought together 21 biology and computer science undergraduates to successfully sequence the sea lion genome, 14 bacterial genomes and 14 microbial community samples.

    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.

    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.

Join the Editorial Board!

Are you interested in becoming an Editorial Board member for BMC Genomics and helping to maintain the editorial standards and ethos of this growing journal? To volunteer as an Associate Editor, please simply contact us at bmcgenomics@biomedcentral.com, enclosing a summary of your research interests and relevant expertise. We look forward to hearing from you.
