A bizarre Jurassic maniraptoran from China with elongate ribbon-like feathers (2008)
Fucheng Zhang, Zhonghe Zhou, Xing Xu, Xiaolin Wang, Corwin Sullivan
Recent coelurosaurian discoveries have greatly enriched our knowledge of the dinosaur-bird transition, but all reported taxa close to this transition are from relatively well-known coelurosaurian...
Structural Alignment, Xing Xu, Yongmei Ji, Gary D. Stormo
Motivation: Non-coding RNA genes and RNA structural regulatory motifs play important roles in gene regulation and other cellular functions. They are often characterized by specific secondary...
The cis-regulatory map of Shewanella genomes (2008)
Liu, Jiajian, Xu, Xing, Stormo, Gary D.
While hundreds of microbial genomes are sequenced, the challenge remains to define their cis-regulatory maps. Here, we present a comparative genomic analysis of the cis-regulatory map of Shewanella...

The type material of the small theropod dinosaurs Tugulusaurus faciles and Phaedrolosaurus ilikensis from the Lower Cretaceous (?Valanginian–Albian) Lianmugin Formation of Xinjiang, north-western...
Characterization of drosophila homologues of activated Cdc42 associated kinase (ack) (2005)
Thesis (M.Sc.) - Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry - Simon Fraser University
Ji, Yongmei, Xu, Xing, Stormo, Gary D.
Motivation: RNA structure motifs contained in mRNAs have been found to play important roles in regulating gene expression. However, identification of novel RNA regulatory motifs using computational...

A new therizinosaur from the Lower Jurassic lower Lufeng Formation of Yunnan, China (2001)
XING XU, XIJIN ZHAO, JAMES M. CLARK
A specimen collected from the Lower Jurassic Lower Lufeng Formation of Yunnan, China, represents a new genus and species of therizinosauroid theropod. It comprises an incomplete left mandibular ramus...

A gliding lizard from the Early Cretaceous of China
Li, Pi-Peng, Gao, Ke-Qin, Hou, Lian-Hai, Xu, Xing
Gliding is an energetically efficient mode of locomotion that has evolved independently, and in different ways, in several tetrapod groups. Here, we report on an acrodontan lizard from the Early...
A basal ceratopsian with transitional features from the Late Jurassic of northwestern China
Xu, Xing, Forster, Catherine A, Clark, James M, Mo, Jinyou
Although the Ceratopsia and Pachycephalosauria, two major ornithischian groups, are united as the Marginocephalia, few synapomorphies have been identified due to their highly specialized body-plans....
The cis-regulatory map of Shewanella genomes

While hundreds of microbial genomes are sequenced, the challenge remains to define their cis-regulatory maps. Here, we present a comparative genomic analysis of the cis-regulatory map of Shewanella...
Erickson, Gregory M, Curry Rogers, Kristina, Varricchio, David J, Norell, Mark A, Xu, Xing
The timing of sexual maturation in non-avian dinosaurs is not known. In extant squamates and crocodilians it occurs in conjunction with the initial slowing of growth rates as adult size is...
Discovering cis-Regulatory RNAs in Shewanella Genomes by Support Vector Machines
Xu, Xing, Ji, Yongmei, Stormo, Gary D.
An increasing number of cis-regulatory RNA elements have been found to regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally in various biological processes in bacterial systems. Effective computational...
A new feather type in a nonavian theropod and the early evolution of feathers
Xu, Xing, Zheng, Xiaoting, You, Hailu
All described feathers in nonavian theropods are composite structures formed by multiple filaments. They closely resemble relatively advanced stages predicted by developmental models of the origin of...
