Solexa and collaborating scientists illuminate the small RNA component of the transcriptome

...p://mpss.udel.edu/at) to further facilitate public access and use of these data." "These experiments underscore the importance of studying the entire genome for evidence of small RNA activity. The newly discovered small RNAs that match to genes are exciting, but so are those that derive from relatively fea...

New molecule may aid in production of biofuels and fungi-resistant plants

... the bonds between the sugar units, they must gain access to the bonds by somehow disrupting the packing of the sugar chains in the chitin molecule. How exactly chitinases overcome these challenges has been unclear until now. Interested in learning more about how the breakdown of chitin occurs, Dr. Eijsink...

Normal chromosome ends elicit a limited DNA damage response

...n complex had to unravel when enzymes need to gain access in order to copy the chromosome's DNA in preparation for cell division. And if so, they wondered, why didn't the presumably exposed chromosome ends trigger a DNA damage response? Turns out they do, at least to a limited extend. "During a small wi...
