Journal ArticleDOI

Geometric cues for directing the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells.

TL;DR: The role that geometric shape cues can play in orchestrating the mechanochemical signals and paracrine/autocrine factors that can direct MSCs to appropriate fates is pointed to.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolutionary and biomedical insights from the rhesus macaque genome

Richard A. Gibbs, +177 more
- 13 Apr 2007 - 
TL;DR: The genome sequence of an Indian-origin Macaca mulatta female is determined and compared with chimpanzees and humans to reveal the structure of ancestral primate genomes and to identify evidence for positive selection and lineage-specific expansions and contractions of gene families.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective chemical labeling reveals the genome-wide distribution of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine

TL;DR: This method uses the T4 bacteriophage β-glucosyltransferase to transfer an engineered glucose moiety containing an azide group onto the hydroxyl group of 5-hmC, a recently identified epigenetic modification present in substantial amounts in certain mammalian cell types.
Journal ArticleDOI

Four Evolutionary Strata on the Human X Chromosome

TL;DR: The ages of individual X-Y gene pairs and the locations of their X members on the X chromosome were found to be highly correlated and age decreased in stepwise fashion from thedistal long arm to the distal short arm in at least four "evolutionary strata".
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional coherence of the human Y chromosome.

TL;DR: A systematic search of the nonrecombining region of the human Y chromosome (NRY) identified 12 novel genes or families, 10 with full-length complementary DNA sequences, which may account for infertility among men with Y deletions.
