Solving the riddle of codon usage preferences: a test for translational selection

TL;DR: A model where the coevolution of genome size and tRNA genes explains the observed patterns in translational selection in all living organisms is proposed, which finally unifies the understanding of codon usage across prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microarray analysis after RNA amplification can detect pronounced differences in gene expression using limma

TL;DR: It is concluded that microarray analysis of amplified samples performs best at detecting differences in gene expression, when these are large and when limma statistics are used.
Journal ArticleDOI

New gene functions in megakaryopoiesis and platelet formation

Christian Gieger, +162 more
- 08 Dec 2011 - 
TL;DR: A high-powered meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in up to 66,867 individuals of European ancestry is carried out, identifying 68 genomic loci reliably associated with platelet count and volume mapping to established and putative novel regulators of megakaryopoiesis and platelet formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dissection of the heat-shock response in Mycobacterium tuberculosis using mutants and microarrays.

TL;DR: A combination of targeted mutagenesis and whole-genome expression profiling was used to characterize transcription factors responsible for control of genes encoding the major heat-shock proteins of M. tuberculosis, and a novel HspR-controlled operon encodes a member of the low-molecular-mass alpha-crystallin family.
