TL;DR: The algorithm of the Program to Assemble Spliced Alignments (PASA) tool is described, as well as the results of automated updates to Arabidopsis gene annotations.

TL;DR: The T. thermophila genome has been used for functional genomic studies to address biological, biomedical, and biotechnological questions of fundamental importance as mentioned in this paper, and it has been shown that the excision of DNA from the MIC to generate the macronucleus specifically targets foreign DNA as a form of genome self-defense.

TL;DR: Transgenic tobacco seedlings that overexpress a cDNA encoding an enzyme with both glutathione S-transferase andGPX activity had GST- and GPX-specific activities approximately twofold higher than wild-type seedlings when exposed to chilling or salt stress.

TL;DR: Results indicate that relatively simple and inexpensive titanium implants develop a rigid osseous interface, 6 weeks is an adequate healing period, prior to loading, to attain rigid stability and avoid spontaneous fracture, and endosseous implants have potential as a source of firm osseus anchorage for orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics.

TL;DR: It is found that salicylic acid is required for the elevated resistance caused by the dnd1 mutation but that removal of salicyric acid did not completely eliminate the dwarf and loss-of-HR phenotypes of mutant dND1 plants.
