Genome-wide Mapping of Polycomb Target Genes Unravels Their Roles in Cell Fate Transitions.
(2006)The Polycomb group (PcG) proteins form chromatin-modifying complexes that are essential for embryonic development and stem cell renewal and are commonly deregulated in cancer. Here, we identify their target genes using ... -
Localized hypermutation and associated gene losses in legume chloroplast genomes
(2010)Point mutations result from errors made during DNA replication or repair, so they are usually expected to be homogeneous across all regions of a genome. However, we have found a region of chloroplast DNA in plants related ... -
Macrosynteny analysis shows the absence of ancient whole-genome duplication in lepidopteran insects
(2019)Whole-genome duplication (WGD) is considered a key evolutionary event for genetic innovation and has occurred in diverse eukaryotic lineages (1). In PNAS, Li et al. (2) report multiple WGD events in hexapods, which is ... -
Mutational dynamics of murine angiogenin duplicates
(2010)Background: Angiogenin (Ang) is a protein involved in angiogenesis by inducing the formation of blood vessels. The biomedical importance of this protein has come from findings linking mutations in Ang to cancer progression and ...
