A comparative evolutionary analysis of two mouse long noncoding RNA libraries reveals a much larger pool of noncoding RNAs remains yet to be discovered.

Inflammatory bowel diseases remain a challenge despite emerging large-scale genetic data and indications of bacterial influence whose application could lead to more long-term treatments.

Rapid and dynamic changes in the expression of small RNAs are seen during ovule and fiber development in allotetraploid cotton.

High-throughput parallel tag sequencing combined with a novel bioinformatic pipeline detects a rich diversity of protists in two contrasting anoxic marine environments, finding many taxon groups missed by previous clone-based surveys.

An analysis of human exonic splicing elements in duplicated genes reveals their important role in the generation of new gene structures.
