Journal ArticleDOI

Buffer gradient gels and 35S label as an aid to rapid DNA sequence determination.

TL;DR: The use of deoxyadenosine 5'-(alpha-[35S]thio)triphosphate as the label incorporated in dideoxynucleotide sequence reactions increases the sharpness of the bands on an autoradiograph and so increases the resolution achieved.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide analysis of Polycomb targets in Drosophila melanogaster

TL;DR: The distribution of the PcG proteins PC, E(Z and PSC and of trimethylation of histone H3 Lys27 (me3K27) in the D. melanogaster genome is determined and the role of these proteins in development, differentiation and disease is determined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transcription factors bind thousands of active and inactive regions in the Drosophila blastoderm.

TL;DR: Surprisingly, for five of the six factors, their recognition sites are not unambiguously more constrained evolutionarily than the immediate flanking DNA, even in more highly bound and presumably functional regions, indicating that comparative DNA sequence analysis is limited in its ability to identify functional transcription factor targets.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transcription factors that activate the Ultrabithorax promoter in developmentally staged extracts.

TL;DR: In vitro analysis of factors that regulate the expression of the Ultrabithorax (Ubx) homeotic gene during embryogenesis should help in understanding how Ubx expression is regulated and provide insight into the processes determining cellular fates during development.
