Journal ArticleDOI
Compositional Gradients in Gramineae Genes
TL;DR: A property of Gramineae genes, and perhaps all monocot genes, that is not observed in eudicot genes is described, where along the direction of transcription, there are gradients in GC content, codon usage, and amino-acid usage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of straw and biochar amendments on aggregate stability, soil organic carbon, and enzyme activities in the Loess Plateau, China
Man Zhang,Gong Cheng,Hao Feng,Benhua Sun,Ying Zhao,Haixin Chen,Jing Chen,Miles Dyck,Xudong Wang,Jianguo Zhang,Afeng Zhang +10 more
TL;DR: Application of carbonized crop residue as biochar could be a potential solution to recover the depleted SOC and enhance the formation of macro-aggregates in Loess Plateau soils of China.
Journal ArticleDOI
BGI-RIS: an integrated information resource and comparative analysis workbench for rice genomics
Wenming Zhao,Jing Wang,Ximiao He,Xiaobing Huang,Yongzhi Jiao,Mingtao Dai,Shulin Wei,Jian Fu,Yi Chen,Xiaoyu Ren,Yong Zhang,Peixiang Ni,Jianguo Zhang,Songgang Li,Jing Wang,Gane Ka-Shu Wong,Hongyu Zhao,Jun Yu,Huanming Yang,Jun Wang +19 more
TL;DR: The BGI-RIS Rice Information System presents the sequenced genomes and related information in systematic and graphical ways for the convenience of in-depth comparative studies, and annotated the rice genomes for gene content, repetitive elements, gene duplications and single nucleotide polymorphisms between rice subspecies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Origin and evolution of new exons in rodents
Wen Wang,Hongkun Zheng,Shuang Yang,Haijing Yu,Jun Li,Huifeng Jiang,Jianning Su,Lei Yang,Jianguo Zhang,Jason E. McDermott,Ram Samudrala,Jian Wang,Huanming Yang,Jun Yu,Karsten Kristiansen,Gane Ka-Shu Wong,Jun Wang +16 more
TL;DR: A much higher proportion of new exons have K(a)/K(s) ratios >1 than do the old exons shared by human and mouse, implying a role of positive selection in the rapid evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
RePS: A Sequence Assembler That Masks Exact Repeats Identified from the Shotgun Data
Jun Wang,Gane Ka-Shu Wong,Peixiang Ni,Yujun Han,Xiangang Huang,Jianguo Zhang,Chen Ye,Yong Zhang,Jianfei Hu,Kunlin Zhang,Xin Xu,Lijuan Cong,Hong Lu,Xide Ren,Xiaoyu Ren,Jun He,Lin Tao,Douglas A. Passey,Jian Wang,Huanming Yang,Jun Yu,Songgang Li +21 more
TL;DR: A sequence assembler is described that explicitly identifies exact 20mer repeats from the shotgun data and removes them prior to the assembly, showing with real data for human and rice that reasonable assemblies are possible even at coverages of only 4x to 6x.
