Journal ArticleDOI
Simultaneous alignment of short reads against multiple genomes
Korbinian Schneeberger,Jörg Hagmann,Stephan Ossowski,Norman Warthmann,Sandra Gesing,Oliver Kohlbacher,Detlef Weigel +6 more
TL;DR: GenomeMapper supports simultaneous mapping of short reads against multiple genomes by integrating related genomes into a single graph structure and introduces representations for alignments against complex structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activation of floral homeotic genes in Arabidopsis.
TL;DR: The identity of floral organs in Arabidopsis thaliana is determined by homeotic genes, which are expressed in specific regions of the developing flower, and these are the floral meristem—identity genes LEAFY and APETALA1.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of JAGGED in shaping lateral organs
José R. Dinneny,José R. Dinneny,Ramin Yadegari,Robert L. Fischer,Martin F. Yanofsky,Detlef Weigel,Detlef Weigel +6 more
TL;DR: The role of JAGGED, a gene that encodes a protein with a single C2H2 zinc-finger domain, in controlling the morphogenesis of lateral organs in Arabidopsis thaliana is characterized and it is shown that J AGGED suppresses the premature differentiation of tissues, which is necessary for the formation of the distal region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stem cells that make stems
TL;DR: Plant stem cells, contained in specialized structures called meristems, have amazing regenerative powers that enable plants to grow and produce new organs throughout lifetimes that can span hundreds of years.
Journal ArticleDOI
A LEAFY co-regulator encoded by UNUSUAL FLORAL ORGANS.
TL;DR: The interplay between LFY and UFO provides a paradigm for how a global regulator such as LFY activates selected target genes only in restricted regions within its expression domain.
