 New from Journal of Biology

Journal of Biology has published two minireviews on the very best research published in BioMed Central’s biology journals. François Bertucci and Daniel Birnbaum discuss two interesting studies published in Genome Biology on the use of molecular methods to classify breast cancers, while Nicolas Vodovar and François Schweisguth highlight a provocative study published in BMC Biology on the role of the O-fucosyltransferase in Notch-receptor trafficking and signaling in Drosophila.
