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 ...
Model for fitting longitudinal traits subject to threshold response applied to genetic evaluation for heat tolerance
(2009-01-14)
Abstract
A semi-parametric non-linear longitudinal hierarchical model is presented. The model assumes that individual variation exists both in the degree of the linear change of performance (slope) ...
Comparative gene expression profiles between heterotic and non-heterotic hybrids of tetraploid Medicago sativa
(2009-08-13)
Abstract
Background
Heterosis, the superior performance of hybrids relative to parents, has clear agricultural value, but its genetic ...
The cellulose synthase superfamily in fully sequenced plants and algae
(2009-07-31)
Abstract
Background
The cellulose synthase superfamily has been classified into nine cellulose synthase-like (Csl) families and one ...
Determination of genomic DNA sequences for beta-tubulin isotype 1 from multiple species of cyathostomin and detection of resistance alleles in third-stage larvae from horses with naturally acquired infections
(2009-09-25)
Abstract
Background
Genetic resistance against benzimidazole (BZ) anthelmintics is widespread in cyathostomins, the commonest group ...
The roles of aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs) in the PDH bypass of Arabidopsis
(2009-03-25)
Abstract
Background
Eukaryotic aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs, EC 1.2.1), which oxidize aldehydes into carboxylic acids, have been ...
The reproducibility of measurements of intramuscular magnesium concentrations and muscle oxidative capacity using 31P MRS
(2009-12-15)
Abstract
31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P MRS) has been used to measure intramuscular magnesium concentrations and muscle metabolism. Abnormal intramuscular magnesium has been reported in ...
High-throughput next-generation sequencing technologies foster new cutting-edge computing techniques in bioinformatics
(2009-07-07)
Abstract
The advent of high-throughput next generation sequencing technologies have fostered enormous potential applications of supercomputing techniques in genome sequencing, epi-genetics, ...
Comparative genomic analysis of C4 photosynthetic pathway evolution in grasses
(2009-06-23)
Abstract
Background
Sorghum is the first C4 plant and the second grass with a full genome sequence available. This makes it possible ...
Biodiversity of poly-extremophilic Bacteria: Does combining the extremes of high salt, alkaline pH and elevated temperature approach a physico-chemical boundary for life?
(2009-11-23)
Abstract
Bacterial microorganisms that grow optimally at Na+ concentrations of 1.7 M, or the equivalent of 10% (w/v) NaCl, and greater are considered to be extreme halophiles. This review focuses ...
