Journal ArticleDOI

The genome sequence of Schizosaccharomyces pombe

Valerie Wood, +136 more
- 21 Feb 2002 - 
TL;DR: The genome of fission yeast (Schizosaccharomyces pombe), which contains the smallest number of protein-coding genes yet recorded for a eukaryote, is sequenced and highly conserved genes important for eukARYotic cell organization including those required for the cytoskeleton, compartmentation, cell-cycle control, proteolysis, protein phosphorylation and RNA splicing are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

The genome of the kinetoplastid parasite, Leishmania major.

Alasdair Ivens, +103 more
- 15 Jul 2005 - 
TL;DR: The organization of protein-coding genes into long, strand-specific, polycistronic clusters and lack of general transcription factors in the L. major, Trypanosoma brucei, and Tritryp genomes suggest that the mechanisms regulating RNA polymerase II–directed transcription are distinct from those operating in other eukaryotes, although the trypanosomatids appear capable of chromatin remodeling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Carcinoembryonic antigen gene family: molecular biology and clinical perspectives.

TL;DR: The clinical outlook for the CEA family has been reassessed and rodent CEA‐related genes can be assigned to human subgroups based on similarity of expression patterns, which is characteristic for the subgroups.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sequence and analysis of chromosome 4 of the plant Arabidopsis thaliana

Klaus F. X. Mayer, +233 more
- 16 Dec 1999 - 
TL;DR: Analysis of 17.38 megabases of unique sequence, representing about 17% of the Arabidopsis genome, reveals 3,744 protein coding genes, 81 transfer RNAs and numerous repeat elements.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cloning of the complete gene for carcinoembryonic antigen: analysis of its promoter indicates a region conveying cell type-specific expression.

TL;DR: A cluster of transcriptional starts for CEA and the closely related nonspecific cross-reacting antigen (NCA) gene and have sequenced their putative promoters are determined and a cosmid clone is isolated and characterized, which contains the entire coding region of the CEA gene.
