Getting to the root of plant biology: impact of the Arabidopsis genome sequence on root research [PDF]
Prior to the availability of the genome sequence, the root of Arabidopsis had attracted a small but ardent group of researchers drawn to its accessibility and developmental simplicity.

Lineage-specific interface proteins match up the cell cycle and differentiation in embryo stem cells
The shortage of molecular information on cell cycle changes along embryonic stem cell (ESC) differentiation prompts an in silico approach, which may provide a novel way to identify candidate genes or mechanisms acting in coordinating the two programs. We

Quantification of within-sample genetic heterogeneity from SNP-array data
Intra-tumour genetic heterogeneity (ITH) fosters drug resistance and is a critical hurdle to clinical treatment. ITH can be well-measured using multi-region sampling but this is costly and challenging to implement.

Evidence for niche adaptation in the genome of the bovine pathogen Streptococcus uberis [PDF]
Background Streptococcus uberis, a Gram positive bacterial pathogen responsible for a significant proportion of bovine mastitis in commercial dairy herds, colonises multiple body sites of the cow including the gut, genital tract and mammary gland ...

Is the pan-genome also a pan-selectome? [v1; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/Vl9wKI]
The comparative genomics of prokaryotes has shown the presence of conserved regions containing highly similar genes (the 'core genome') and other regions that vary in gene content (the ‘flexible’ regions).

Mechanisms of gene duplication and translocation and progress towards understanding their relative contributions to animal genome evolution [PDF]
Duplication of genetic material is clearly a major route to genetic change, with consequences for both evolution and disease. A variety of forms and mechanisms of duplication are recognised, operating across the scales of a few base pairs upto entire ...

Dissecting spatio‐temporal protein networks driving human heart development and related disorders
Aberrant organ development is associated with a wide spectrum of disorders, from schizophrenia to congenital heart disease, but systems‐level insight into the underlying processes is very limited. Using heart morphogenesis as general model for dissecting

ANALYZING THE GENOMIC VARIATION OF MICROBIAL CELL FACTORIES IN THE ERA OF “NEW BIOTECHNOLOGY”
The application of genome-scale technologies, both experimental and in silico, to industrial biotechnology has allowed improving the conversion of biomass-derived feedstocks to chemicals, materials and fuels through microbial fermentation. In particular,
