Xylanases are hydrolytic enzymes which randomly cleave the β 1, 4 backbone of the
complex plant cell wall polysaccharide xylan. Diverse forms of these enzymes exist …

We have developed a general profile for the proteins of the TetR family of repressors. The
stretch that best defines the profile of this family is made up of 47 amino acid residues that …

We report an improved draft nucleotide sequence of the 2.3-gigabase genome of maize, an
important crop plant and model for biological research. Over 32,000 genes were predicted …

Abstract SWISS-MODEL (http://swissmodel. expasy. org) is a server for automated
comparative modeling of three-dimensional (3D) protein structures. It pioneered the field of …

Motivation: High-throughput technologies such as DNA sequencing and microarrays have
created the need for automated annotation of large sets of genes, including whole genomes …

To provide the scientific community with a single, centralized, authoritative resource for
protein sequences and functional information, the Swiss‐Prot, TrEMBL and PIR protein …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) interact with target mRNAs at specific sites to induce cleavage of the
message or inhibit translation. The specific function of most mammalian miRNAs is …

We present here a draft genome sequence of the red jungle fowl, Gallus gallus. Because the
chicken is a modern descendant of the dinosaurs and the first non-mammalian amniote to …

There are 481 segments longer than 200 base pairs (bp) that are absolutely conserved
(100% identity with no insertions or deletions) between orthologous regions of the human …

The laboratory rat (Rattus norvegicus) is an indispensable tool in experimental medicine
and drug development, having made inestimable contributions to human health. We report …
