Computational and transcriptional evidence for microRNAs in the honey bee genome (2007)

Weaver, Daniel B, Anzola, Juan M, Evans, Jay D, Reid, Jeffrey G, Reese, Justin T, Childs, Kevin L, ...

Abstract Background Non-coding microRNAs (miRNAs) are key regulators of gene expression in eukaryotes. Insect miRNAs help regulate the levels of proteins involved with development, metabolism, and...

Creating a honey bee consensus gene set (2007)

Elsik, Christine G, Mackey, Aaron J, Reese, Justin T, Milshina, Natalia V, Roos, David S, Weinstock, George M

Abstract Background We wished to produce a single reference gene set for honey bee ( Apis mellifera ). Our motivation was twofold. First, we wished to obtain an improved set of gene models with...

Creating a honey bee consensus gene set

Elsik, Christine G, Mackey, Aaron J, Reese, Justin T, Milshina, Natalia V, Roos, David S, Weinstock, George M

A high-quality consensus gene set for the honey bee (Apis mellifera) created using a new algorithm (GLEAN) is described.

Downregulated Expression of Ly-6-ThB on Developing T Cells Marks CD4+CD8+ Subset Undergoing Selection in the Thymus

Reese, Justin T., Mehta, Hitesh, Chappell, Clay H., Bamezai, Anil.

Interaction of TCRs on CD4+CD8+ immature T cell with MHC-peptide complexes on stromal cells is required for positive and negative selection in the thymus. Identification and characterization of a...

Computational and transcriptional evidence for microRNAs in the honey bee genome

Weaver, Daniel B, Anzola, Juan M, Evans, Jay D, Reid, Jeffrey G, Reese, Justin T, Childs, Kevin L, ...

A total of 68 non-redundant candidate honey bee miRNAs were identified computationally; several of them appear to have previously unrecognized orthologs in the Drosophila genome. Several miRNAs...
