Proline is unique in the realm of amino acids in its ability to adopt completely distinct cis and
trans conformations, which allows it to act as a backbone switch that is controlled by prolyl …

The need for cost-effective low-energy wastewater treatment has never been greater. Clean
water for our expanding and predominantly urban global population will be expensive to …

… Mo Kim; Yunkyung Hong, Seunghoon Lee and Ji Hong Lim prepared figures and table;
Pengda Liu, Yong Heon Lee and Tae Ho Lee professionally edited the manuscript; Byeong Mo …

MCScan is an algorithm able to scan multiple genomes or subgenomes in order to identify
putative homologous chromosomal regions, and align these regions using genes as anchors. …

Oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) was formed ~7500 years ago by hybridization between B.
rapa and B. oleracea, followed by chromosome doubling, a process known as allopolyploidy…

We report the annotation and analysis of the draft genome sequence of Brassica rapa accession
Chiifu-401-42, a Chinese cabbage. We modeled 41,174 protein coding genes in the B. …

Polyploidization has provided much genetic variation for plant adaptive evolution, but the
mechanisms by which the molecular evolution of polyploid genomes establishes genetic …

Ligation of the extracellular domain of the cell surface receptor Fas/APO-1 (CD95) elicits a
characteristic programmed death response in susceptible cells. Using a genetic selection …

Polyploidy often confers emergent properties, such as the higher fibre productivity and quality
of tetraploid cottons than diploid cottons bred for the same environments 1 . Here we show …

Genome duplication (GD) has permanently shaped the architecture and function of many
higher eukaryotic genomes. The angiosperms (flowering plants) are outstanding models in …
