Insights from the genome of the biotrophic fungal plant pathogen Ustilago maydis (2006)
Kahmann, Regine, Bölker, Michael, Ma, Li-Jun, Brefort, Thomas, Saville, Barry J, ...
Ustilago maydis is a ubiquitous pathogen of maize and a well-established model organism for the study of plant-microbe interactions. This basidiomycete fungus does not use aggressive virulence...
A complementary transposon tool kit for Drosophila melanogaster using P and piggyBac (2004)
Singer, Matthew A, Miyazaki, Wesley Y, Milash, Brett, Dompe, Nicholas A, Singh, Carol M, ...
With the availability of complete genome sequence for Drosophila melanogaster, one of the next strategic goals for fly researchers is a complete gene knockout collection. The P-element transposon,...
Lehar, Sophie M., Pedersen, Jan T., Kamath, Ravi S., Swimmer, Candace, Goldmacher, Victor S., Lambert, John M., ...
The study of the lectin binding sites of ricin B chain and of other homologous members of the small gene family that make up ricin-like molecules has revealed a number of key contact residues...
Konsolaki, Mary, Komitopoulou, Katia, Tolias, Peter P., King, Dennis L., Swimmer, Candace, Kafatos, Fotis C.
We have used low stringency screening with the Drosophila meianogaster s36 chorion gene to recover its homologue from genomic and cDNA libraries of the medfly, Ceratitis capitata. The same gene has...
