This unit describes how to use several gene‐finding programs from the GeneMark line
developed for finding protein‐coding ORFs in genomic DNA of prokaryotic species, in …

Little is known about cyclic AMP (cAMP) function in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, despite its
ability to encode 15 adenylate cyclases and 10 cNMP-binding proteins. M. tuberculosis …

Phosphorylation of proteins is a key way cells regulate function, both at the individual protein
level and at the level of signaling pathways. Kinases are responsible for phosphorylation of …

Powdery mildew (Pm), caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), is one of the most
important crop diseases, causing severe economic losses to wheat production worldwide …

Gallibacterium anatis is a pathogen of poultry. Very little is known about its genetics and
pathogenesis. To enable the study of gene function in G. anatis, we have established …

Motivation: Identification of functionally conserved regulatory elements in sequence data
from closely related organisms is becoming feasible, due to the rapid growth of public …

Background Analyzing regulation of bacteriophage gene expression historically lead to
establishing major paradigms of molecular biology, and may provide important medical …

Uptake signal sequences are DNA motifs that promote DNA uptake by competent bacteria in
the family Pasteurellaceae and the genus Neisseria. The genomes of these bacteria contain …

Gene expression varies due to the intrinsic stochasticity of transcription or as a reaction to
external perturbations that generate cellular mutations. Co-regulation, co-expression and …

Rhodopseudomonas palustris, an α-proteobacterium, carries out three of the chemical
reactions that support life on this planet: the conversion of sunlight to chemical-potential …
