Fruit development and ripening are unique to plants and represent an important component
of human and animal diets. Recent discoveries have shed light on the molecular basis of …

Simple statistical methods for the study of quantitative trait loci (QTL), such as analysis of
variance, have given way to methods that involve several markers and high-resolution …

Abstract motivation: Advances in molecular biological, analytical and computational
technologies are enabling us to systematically investigate the complex molecular processes …

The study of gene expression profiling of cells and tissue has become a major tool for
discovery in medicine. Microarray experiments allow description of genome-wide …

The determination of a list of differentially expressed genes is a basic objective in many
cDNA microarray experiments. We present a statistical approach that allows direct control …

Background Large gene expression studies, such as those conducted using DNA arrays,
often provide millions of different pieces of data. To address the problem of analyzing such …

Human embryonic stem (hES) cells hold promise for generating an unlimited supply of cells
for replacement therapies. To characterize hES cells at the molecular level, we obtained …

Because of the huge size of the common wheat (Triticum aestivum L., 2 n= 6 x= 42,
AABBDD) genome of 17,300 Mb, sequencing and map** of the expressed portion is a …

Understanding peroxidase function in plants is complicated by the lack of substrate
specificity, the high number of genes, their diversity in structure and our limited knowledge of …

The capacity to biomineralize is closely linked to the rapid expansion of animal life during
the early Cambrian, with many skeletonized phyla first appearing in the fossil record at this …
