The origin story and emergence of molecular biology is muddled. The early triumphs in
bacterial genetics and the complexity of animal and plant genomes complicate an intricate …

Short interspersed repetitive elements, or SINEs, are tRNA‐derived retroposons that are
dispersed throughout eukaryotic genomes and can be present in well over 104 total copies …

Heterochromatin is thought to play a critical role for centromeric function. However, the
respective contributions of the distinct repetitive sequences found in these regions, such as …

We report the construction of a genetic linkage map of the mouse, consisting entirely of
genetic markers that can be rapidly typed by polymerase chain reaction and that show a …

To identify previously undetected genes that may be involved in the transition from a resting
state (G0) to a proliferative state (G1) of mammalian cells, we set out to isolate cDNA clones …

Polymorphisms in genomic fingerprints generated by arbitrarily primed PCR (AP-PCR) can
distinguish between strains of almost any organism. We applied the technique to the mouse …

P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1 (PSGL-1) is a mucin-like selectin counterreceptor that binds
to P-selectin, E-selectin, and L-selectin. To determine its physiological role in cell adhesion …

The abundance of Alu RNA is transiently increased by heat shock in human cell lines. This
effect Is specific to Alu repeats among Pol III transcribed genes, since the abundance of 7SL …

Short retroposons (SINEs) are repetitive elements amplified in the genome via an RNA
intermediate, using the enzymatic machinery of autonomous retroposons (LINEs). SINEs are …

Sialoadhesin is a macrophage‐restricted adhesion molecule of 185 kDa that mediates sialic
acid‐dependent binding to cells. It is expressed strongly by macrophages in lymphoid and …
