Retrotransposons are mobile genetic elements that use a germline ‘copy-and-paste’ mechanism
to spread throughout metazoan genomes 1 . At least 50 per cent of the human genome …

Background This work describes the first genome-wide analysis of the transcriptional landscape
of the pig. A new porcine Affymetrix expression array was designed in order to provide …

Branching morphogenesis of epithelium is a common and important feature of organogenesis;
it is, for example, responsible for development of renal collecting ducts, lung airways, milk …

Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor, GDNF, is vital to the development and maintenance
of neural tissues; it promotes survival of sympathetic, parasympathetic and spinal motor …

Alternative promoter usage and alternative splicing enable diversification of the transcriptome.
Here we demonstrate that the function of Synaptic GTPase-Activating Protein (SynGAP), a …

The set of proteins required for mitotic division remains poorly characterized. Here, an
extensive series of correlation analyses of human and mouse transcriptomics data were …

The European honey bee (Apis mellifera) plays a major role in pollination and food production.
Honey bee health is a complex product of the environment, host genetics and associated …

Cilia are complex microtubule-based organelles essential to a range of processes associated
with embryogenesis and tissue homeostasis. Mutations in components of these organelles …

Macrophages respond to the TLR4 agonist LPS with a sequential transcriptional cascade
controlled by a complex regulatory network of signaling pathways and transcription factors. At …
