BMC Genomics 2009, 10 :290
A transcriptome analysis of the Scorpiops jendeki venom gland has highlighted a number of venom peptides which may help drug development and aid our understanding of how the scorpion evolved its venom arsenal.
BMC Genomics 2009, 10 :252
Infection of different mammalian cell types by the intracellular pathogen Trypanosoma cruzi induces a range of host responses, involving cytokine-independent gene expression, a block in the cell cycle and impairment of cytokinesis.
BMC Genomics 2009, 10 :239
Sequencing of the Swedish variant of Chlamydia trachomatis (serotype E) confirms the mutation that allowed it to escape detection, whilst comparative analysis of sequence from six strains identifies better conserved plasmid regions for use in PCR diagnosis.
BMC Genomics 2009, 10 :234
A large number of ESTs and microsatellite markers have been obtained by massively parallel pyrosequencing in the flesh fly S. crassipalpis, an important insect model for physiology and biochemistry
BMC Genomics 2009, 10 :219
Rapid sequencing of the transcribed genes of coral larvae is made possible by the use of adapted next-generation sequencing methods, revealing around 11,000 expressed genes and candidate genes for the response to temperature stress.
