Background Transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq) has become the assay of choice for high-throughput
studies of gene expression. However, as is the case with microarrays, major …

Transcription factors canonically bind nucleosome-free DNA, making the positioning of
nucleosomes within regulatory regions crucial to the regulation of gene expression. Using the …

According to expectancy-value theory, the gender stereotypes of significant others such as
parents, peers, or teachers affect students’ competence beliefs, values, and achievement-…

Fermentation of xylose is a fundamental requirement for the efficient production of ethanol
from lignocellulosic biomass sources. Although they aggressively ferment hexoses, it has long …

A previously uncharacterized yeast gene (YER016w) that we have named BIM1 (binding to
microtubules) was obtained from a two-hybrid screen of a yeast cDNA library using as bait …

Previous negotiation research predominantly focused on psychological factors that lead to
suboptimal compromises as opposed to integrative agreements. Few studies systematically …

Elucidating population structure and levels of genetic diversity and recombination is necessary
to understand the evolution and adaptation of species. Candida albicans is the second …

Background Candida albicans is a ubiquitous opportunistic fungal pathogen that afflicts
immunocompromised human hosts. With rare and transient exceptions the yeast is diploid, yet …

The S. cerevisiae genome is the most well-characterized eukaryotic genome and one of the
simplest in terms of identifying open reading frames (ORFs), yet its primary annotation has …

A comprehensive set of clustered charged-to-alanine mutations was generated that
systematically alter TUB1, the major α-tubulin gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A variety of …
