CREST - a large and diverse superfamily of putative transmembrane hydrolases

Jimin Pei, Douglas P Millay, Eric N Olson, Nick V Grishin Biology Direct 2011, 6:37 (6 July 2011)

Universal conservation of a set of histidine and aspartate residues across all groups in the CREST superfamily, coupled with experimental evidence, suggests that the majority of CREST members are metal-dependent hydrolases.

Forward genetics in Tribolium castaneum: opening new avenues of research in arthropod biology

Andrew D Peel Journal of Biology 2009, 8:106 (30 December 2009)

Peel discusses the merits of the flour beetle over the fruit fly as a new arthropod model organism and describes how a new mutagenesis screen published in BMC Biology increases the usefulness of this creature.
