Subolesin is a conserved protein recently found in Ixodes scapularis that plays a role in tick blood digestion, reproduction and development, and is now implicated in the modulation of genes involved in multiple cellular pathways.
The MisPred tool improves gene predictions within public databases by using five distinct approaches to detect incomplete or incorrect sequences, such as missing signal peptides or problems with domain integrity.
Human brain evolution Khaitovich P, Lockstone HE, Wayland MT, Tsang TM, Jayatilaka SD, Guo AJ, Zhou J, Somel M, Harris LW, Holmes E, et al. / 05 August 2008
Human cognitive evolution involved genes implicated in energy metabolism and energy-expensive brain functions that are also altered in schizophrenia, suggesting that human brains may have reached their metabolic limit, with schizophrenia as a costly by-product.
Analysis of duplicate genes and predicted microRNA targets in human and mouse shows that microRNAs are important in how the regulatory patterns of mammalian paralogs have evolved.
Profiling diarrhea Borenshtein D, Fry RC, Groff EB, Nambiar PR, Carey VJ, Fox JG, Schauer DB / 04 August 2008
Analysis of gene expression in the colons of Citrobacter rodentium-infected susceptible and resistant mice suggests that mortality is associated with impaired intestinal ion transport.
