Mitochondrial DNA suggests at least 11 origins of parasitism in angiosperms and reveals genomic chimerism in parasitic plants
(2007-12-21)
Abstract
Background
Some of the most difficult phylogenetic questions in evolutionary biology involve identification of the free-living ...
Time-dependent patterning of the mesoderm and endoderm by Nodal signals in zebrafish
(2007-03-28)
Abstract
Background
The vertebrate body plan is generated during gastrulation with the formation of the three germ layers. Members ...
Does the history of food energy units suggest a solution to Calorie confusion?
(2007-12-17)
Abstract
The Calorie (kcal) of present U.S. food labels is similar to the original French definition of 1825. The original published source (now available on the internet) defined the Calorie as ...
Cdt1 degradation to prevent DNA re-replication: conserved and non-conserved pathways
(2007-06-12)
Abstract
In eukaryotes, DNA replication is strictly regulated so that it occurs only once per cell cycle. The mechanisms that prevent excessive DNA replication are focused on preventing replication ...
A co-fermentation strategy to consume sugar mixtures effectively
(2008-02-27)
Abstract
We report a new approach for the simultaneous conversion of xylose and glucose sugar mixtures into products by fermentation. The process simultaneously uses two substrate-selective strains ...
Biomechanical Effects Of A Single- Versus Multi-Radius Total Knee Arthroplasty Design On Bilateral Arthoplasty Patients During the Sit-To-Stand
(2008-08-13)
Abstract
Background
Compared to the design of a traditional multi-radius (MR) total knee arthroplasty (TKA), the single-radius (SR) ...
The DAWGPAWS pipeline for the annotation of genes and transposable elements in plant genomes
(2009-06-19)
Abstract
Background
High quality annotation of the genes and transposable elements in complex genomes requires a human-curated ...
Complete plastid genome sequences suggest strong selection for retention of photosynthetic genes in the parasitic plant genus Cuscuta
(2007-10-24)
Abstract
Background
Plastid genome content and protein sequence are highly conserved across land plants and their closest algal ...
Analysis of septins across kingdoms reveals orthology and new motifs
(2007-07-01)
Abstract
Background
Septins are cytoskeletal GTPase proteins first discovered in the fungus Saccharomyces cerevisiae where they ...
ConiferEST: an integrated bioinformatics system for data reprocessing and mining of conifer expressed sequence tags (ESTs)
(2007-05-29)
Abstract
Background
With the advent of low-cost, high-throughput sequencing, the amount of public domain Expressed Sequence Tag ...
