TL;DR: After the presence of microsatellites in Arabidopsis and their utility for genetic mapping had been demonstrated, systematic screening for (CA)n and (GA)n sequences was carried out on marker-selected plasmid libraries and a small-insert genomic library.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the normal level of polar transport activity in the inflorescence axes is required in early developmental stages of floral bud formation in Arabidopsis and that the primary function of the pin1 gene is auxin polar transport in the inforescence axis.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a resource of 700 transcriptomes from marine microbial eukaryotes to help understand their role in the world's oceans and their biology, evolution, and ecology.

TL;DR: This study provides a proof of concept that it should be possible to introduce preconception carrier screening for many recessive pediatric disease mutations as long as the disease genes are known and predicts that the screening test could be made faster and more cost-effective with the advent of microdroplet polymerase chain reaction and third-generation sequencing technologies.

TL;DR: This first systematic effort to estimate sequence variation among monozygotic co-twins did not find evidence for genetic, epigenetic or transcriptome differences that explained disease discordance, and are the first, to the authors' knowledge, female, twin and autoimmune disease individual genome sequences reported.
