Errors in microbial genome sequences are not restricted to point mutations and may also consist of large-scale rearrangements, such as insertions, which should be rectified so that these data can be of continuing use.
BMC Genomics 2008, 9 :131
The Songbird Neurogenomics initiative (SoNG) provides a genomic database, a set of genomic tools and also a mechanism for community collaboration to enhance research linking the genomics, evolution, neuroscience and behavior of songbirds.
BMC Genomics 2008, 9 :67
CpG dinucleotides occur in the transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) of all genes with a housekeeping role, promoting RNA polymerase II binding, whereas TFBSs without a CpG are involved in tissue-specific promoter activity.
