The genome of the western clawed frog xenopus tropicalis

Uffe Hellsten, +49 more
- 30 Apr 2010 - 
TL;DR: The western clawed frog Xenopus tropicalis is an important model for vertebrate development that combines experimental advantages of the African clawed frogs Xenopus laevis with more tractable genetics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Landscape of Somatic Retrotransposition in Human Cancers

TL;DR: Analyzing five cancer types occurring among several individuals found that three types of epithelial tumors exhibited high rates of element movement relative to brain and blood cancers, and Whole-genome sequencing provides evidence for somatic insertions in colorectal, prostate, and ovarian cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome analysis of the platypus reveals unique signatures of evolution

Wesley C. Warren, +104 more
- 08 May 2008 - 
TL;DR: It is found that reptile and platypus venom proteins have been co-opted independently from the same gene families; milk protein genes are conserved despite platypuses laying eggs; and immune gene family expansions are directly related to platypUS biology.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Catalog of Reference Genomes from the Human Microbiome

TL;DR: Results from an initial reference genome sequencing of 178 microbial genomes allow for ~40% of random sequences from the microbiome of the gastrointestinal tract to be associated with organisms based on the match criteria used, suggesting that the authors are still far from saturating microbial species genetic data sets.
