Genome projects continue to produce large quantities of sequence data. Annotation of this sequence data to indicate the location of genes, start and stop codons, inverte[...]

Communication between cells is a highly regulated process that requires selective control of signaling events to ensure proper development of tissues. Within all metazoan[...]

In all animals, germline cells differentiate in intimate contact with somatic cells and interactions between germline and soma are particularly important for germline dev[...]

Most metazoan cells have a short life span and thus are constantly reproduced from stem cells residing in adult tissues. A stem cell normally divides in an asymmetric fas[...]

The influences of beginning-level gymnastics training on skeletal development were assessed in prepubertal females four to eight years of age, with essentially no organiz[...]

Brominated flame retardants are widely used chemicals that induce a myriad of neurotoxic effects, all of which are not well understood. Although many flame retardants hav[...]

Abstract Background The globe artichoke (Cynara cardunculus L. var. scolymus) genome is relatively poorly explored, especially compared to those of the other major As[...]
