… In recent years a great deal of progress has been made in identifying many of the genes that
are responsive to these varied environmental conditions, and also in understanding the role …

… We thank members of the Deal lab for constructive comments and discussion on the
manuscript. MF, DHH, and RBD were supported by National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant …

… By measuring the incorporation of newly produced histones, RB Deal et al. showed that
nucleosomes are replaced on a fast time scale across the Drosophila genome ("Genome-wide …

… Preliminary microarray experiments comparing wild-type and arp6-1 plants (RB Deal and
RB Meagher, unpublished data) revealed a large number of genes whose expression was …

1. Introduction. In applied statistics the problem of combining two unbiased estimators often
arises. If the estimators have unequal variances, than the problem of how to weight the …

Understanding the production and function of specialized cells during development requires
the isolation of individual cell types for analysis, but this is currently a major technical …

Genomic studies of cell differentiation and function within a whole organism depend on the
ability to isolate specific cell types from a tissue, but this is technically difficult. We developed …

Agrobacterium rhizogenes (or Rhizobium rhizogenes) is able to transform plant genomes
and induce the production of hairy roots. We describe the use of A. rhizogenes in tomato (…

In plants, CG DNA methylation is prevalent in the transcribed regions of many constitutively
expressed genes (gene body methylation; gbM), but the origin and function of gbM remain …

The transcriptional regulatory structure of plant genomes remains poorly defined relative to
animals. It is unclear how many cis-regulatory elements exist, where these elements lie …
