TL;DR: The draft genome of the black cottonwood tree, Populus trichocarpa, has been reported in this paper, with more than 45,000 putative protein-coding genes identified.

TL;DR: A single-cell digital gene expression profiling assay with only a single mouse blastomere is described, which detected the expression of 75% more genes than microarray techniques and identified 1,753 previously unknown splice junctions called by at least 5 reads.

TL;DR: The genome sequence reveals that the severe acute respiratory syndrome–associated coronavirus known as the Tor2 isolate is only moderately related to other known coronaviruses, andylogenetic analysis of the predicted viral proteins indicates that the virus does not closely resemble any of the three previously known groups of coronavirs.

TL;DR: An interactive protein secondary structure prediction Internet server is presented that simplifies the use of current prediction algorithms and allows conservation patterns important to structure and function to be identified.

TL;DR: Overall, RHA1 appears to have evolved to simultaneously catabolize a diverse range of plant-derived compounds in an O2-rich environment and is established as an important model for studying actinomycete physiology.
