TL;DR: This study examined ∼32 kilobases of aligned nuclear DNA sequences from 19 independent loci for 169 species, representing all major extant groups, and recovered a robust phylogeny from a genome-wide signal supported by multiple analytical methods.

TL;DR: A genome-scale phylogenetic analysis of 48 species representing all orders of Neoaves recovered a highly resolved tree that confirms previously controversial sister or close relationships and identifies the first divergence in Neoaves, two groups the authors named Passerea and Columbea.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural and transcriptional analysis of human papillomavirus type 16 sequences in cervical carcinoma cell lines.
Carl C. Baker,William C. Phelps,Valerie Lindgren,Michael J. Braun,Matthew A. Gonda,Peter M. Howley +5 more
TL;DR: Transcription analysis revealed expression of the HPV-16 genome in each of these two cervical carcinoma cell lines, albeit at significantly different levels, and preliminary mapping of the viral RNA with subgenomic strand-specific probes indicated that viral transcription appeared to be derived primarily from the E6 and E7 ORFs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sequence of MET protooncogene cDNA has features characteristic of the tyrosine kinase family of growth-factor receptors
TL;DR: It is concluded that the MET protooncogene is a cell-surface receptor for an as-yet-unknown ligand that is most homologous with the human insulin receptor and v-abl.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization and molecular cloning of a bovine lentivirus related to human immunodeficiency virus
Matthew A. Gonda,Michael J. Braun,Stephen G. Carter,T. A. Kost,Julian W. Bess,Larry O. Arthur,Martin J. Van Der Maaten +6 more
TL;DR: The sequence data and serologic analyses together show that this bovine retrovirus is a novel lentivirus related to HIV and other lentiviruses, and it is proposed that this virus be tentatively named Bovine immunodeficiency-like virus (BIV) to reflect its genetic relationship and biological similarity to HIV.
