A transcriptome analysis of the Scorpiops jendeki venom gland has highlighted a number of venom peptides which may help drug development and aid our understanding of how the scorpion evolved its venom arsenal.
A new software, T-REX, facilitates the cumbersome analysis of terminal restriction fragment length polymorphisms (T-RFLPs) including the processing of raw data, identification of true peaks and the comparative analysis of terminal restriction fragments in all samples.
Schistosoma genome map Criscione CD, Valentim CLL, Hirai H, LoVerde PT, Anderson TJC / 30 June 2009
The first genetic linkage map of Schistosoma mansoni reveals insights into higher female recombination, confirms ZW inheritance patterns and recombination hotspots.
Thermococcus gammatolerans proteogenomics Zivanovic Y, Armengaud J, Lagorce A, Leplat C, Guerin P, Dutertre M, Anthouard V, Forterre P, Wincker P, Confalonieri F / 26 June 2009
The genome sequence of Thermococcus gammatolerans, a radioresistant archaeon, is described; a proteomic analysis reveals that radioresistance may be due to unknown DNA repair enzymes.
Brown alga transcriptomics Dittami SM, Scornet D, Petit JL, Ségurens B, Da Silva C, Corre E, Dondrup M, Glatting KH, König R, Sterck L, et al. / 16 June 2009
The brown alga Ectocarpus siliculosus, unlike terrestrial plants, undergoes extensive reprogramming of its transcriptome during the acclimation to mild abiotic stress.
