    Description: We present a draft sequence of the genome of Aedes aegypti, the primary vector for yellow fever and dengue fever, which at approximately 1376 million base pairs is about 5 times the size of the genome of the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae. Nearly 50% of the Ae. aegypti genome consists of transposable elements. These contribute to a factor of approximately 4 to 6 increase in average gene length and in sizes of intergenic regions relative to An. gambiae and Drosophila melanogaster. Nonetheless, chromosomal synteny is generally maintained among all three insects, although conservation of orthologous gene order is higher (by a factor of approximately 2) between the mosquito species than between either of them and the fruit fly. An increase in genes encoding odorant binding, cytochrome P450, and cuticle domains relative to An. gambiae suggests that members of these protein families underpin some of the biological differences between the two mosquito species.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2868357/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2868357/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Nene, Vishvanath -- Wortman, Jennifer R -- Lawson, Daniel -- Haas, Brian -- Kodira, Chinnappa -- Tu, Zhijian Jake -- Loftus, Brendan -- Xi, Zhiyong -- Megy, Karyn -- Grabherr, Manfred -- Ren, Quinghu -- Zdobnov, Evgeny M -- Lobo, Neil F -- Campbell, Kathryn S -- Brown, Susan E -- Bonaldo, Maria F -- Zhu, Jingsong -- Sinkins, Steven P -- Hogenkamp, David G -- Amedeo, Paolo -- Arensburger, Peter -- Atkinson, Peter W -- Bidwell, Shelby -- Biedler, Jim -- Birney, Ewan -- Bruggner, Robert V -- Costas, Javier -- Coy, Monique R -- Crabtree, Jonathan -- Crawford, Matt -- Debruyn, Becky -- Decaprio, David -- Eiglmeier, Karin -- Eisenstadt, Eric -- El-Dorry, Hamza -- Gelbart, William M -- Gomes, Suely L -- Hammond, Martin -- Hannick, Linda I -- Hogan, James R -- Holmes, Michael H -- Jaffe, David -- Johnston, J Spencer -- Kennedy, Ryan C -- Koo, Hean -- Kravitz, Saul -- Kriventseva, Evgenia V -- Kulp, David -- Labutti, Kurt -- Lee, Eduardo -- Li, Song -- Lovin, Diane D -- Mao, Chunhong -- Mauceli, Evan -- Menck, Carlos F M -- Miller, Jason R -- Montgomery, Philip -- Mori, Akio -- Nascimento, Ana L -- Naveira, Horacio F -- Nusbaum, Chad -- O'leary, Sinead -- Orvis, Joshua -- Pertea, Mihaela -- Quesneville, Hadi -- Reidenbach, Kyanne R -- Rogers, Yu-Hui -- Roth, Charles W -- Schneider, Jennifer R -- Schatz, Michael -- Shumway, Martin -- Stanke, Mario -- Stinson, Eric O -- Tubio, Jose M C -- Vanzee, Janice P -- Verjovski-Almeida, Sergio -- Werner, Doreen -- White, Owen -- Wyder, Stefan -- Zeng, Qiandong -- Zhao, Qi -- Zhao, Yongmei -- Hill, Catherine A -- Raikhel, Alexander S -- Soares, Marcelo B -- Knudson, Dennis L -- Lee, Norman H -- Galagan, James -- Salzberg, Steven L -- Paulsen, Ian T -- Dimopoulos, George -- Collins, Frank H -- Birren, Bruce -- Fraser-Liggett, Claire M -- Severson, David W -- 079059/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 5 R01 AI61576-2/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI059492/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 LM006845/LM/NLM NIH HHS/ -- R01 LM006845-08/LM/NLM NIH HHS/ -- R37 AI024716/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- UO1 AI50936/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2007 Jun 22;316(5832):1718-23.

    Description: Leishmania species cause a spectrum of human diseases in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. We have sequenced the 36 chromosomes of the 32.8-megabase haploid genome of Leishmania major (Friedlin strain) and predict 911 RNA genes, 39 pseudogenes, and 8272 protein-coding genes, of which 36% can be ascribed a putative function. These include genes involved in host-pathogen interactions, such as proteolytic enzymes, and extensive machinery for synthesis of complex surface glycoconjugates. 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 Trypanosoma cruzi (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. Abundant RNA-binding proteins are encoded in the Tritryp genomes, consistent with active posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1470643/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1470643/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ivens, Alasdair C -- Peacock, Christopher S -- Worthey, Elizabeth A -- Murphy, Lee -- Aggarwal, Gautam -- Berriman, Matthew -- Sisk, Ellen -- Rajandream, Marie-Adele -- Adlem, Ellen -- Aert, Rita -- Anupama, Atashi -- Apostolou, Zina -- Attipoe, Philip -- Bason, Nathalie -- Bauser, Christopher -- Beck, Alfred -- Beverley, Stephen M -- Bianchettin, Gabriella -- Borzym, Katja -- Bothe, Gordana -- Bruschi, Carlo V -- Collins, Matt -- Cadag, Eithon -- Ciarloni, Laura -- Clayton, Christine -- Coulson, Richard M R -- Cronin, Ann -- Cruz, Angela K -- Davies, Robert M -- De Gaudenzi, Javier -- Dobson, Deborah E -- Duesterhoeft, Andreas -- Fazelina, Gholam -- Fosker, Nigel -- Frasch, Alberto Carlos -- Fraser, Audrey -- Fuchs, Monika -- Gabel, Claudia -- Goble, Arlette -- Goffeau, Andre -- Harris, David -- Hertz-Fowler, Christiane -- Hilbert, Helmut -- Horn, David -- Huang, Yiting -- Klages, Sven -- Knights, Andrew -- Kube, Michael -- Larke, Natasha -- Litvin, Lyudmila -- Lord, Angela -- Louie, Tin -- Marra, Marco -- Masuy, David -- Matthews, Keith -- Michaeli, Shulamit -- Mottram, Jeremy C -- Muller-Auer, Silke -- Munden, Heather -- Nelson, Siri -- Norbertczak, Halina -- Oliver, Karen -- O'neil, Susan -- Pentony, Martin -- Pohl, Thomas M -- Price, Claire -- Purnelle, Benedicte -- Quail, Michael A -- Rabbinowitsch, Ester -- Reinhardt, Richard -- Rieger, Michael -- Rinta, Joel -- Robben, Johan -- Robertson, Laura -- Ruiz, Jeronimo C -- Rutter, Simon -- Saunders, David -- Schafer, Melanie -- Schein, Jacquie -- Schwartz, David C -- Seeger, Kathy -- Seyler, Amber -- Sharp, Sarah -- Shin, Heesun -- Sivam, Dhileep -- Squares, Rob -- Squares, Steve -- Tosato, Valentina -- Vogt, Christy -- Volckaert, Guido -- Wambutt, Rolf -- Warren, Tim -- Wedler, Holger -- Woodward, John -- Zhou, Shiguo -- Zimmermann, Wolfgang -- Smith, Deborah F -- Blackwell, Jenefer M -- Stuart, Kenneth D -- Barrell, Bart -- Myler, Peter J -- R01 AI040599/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI053667/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U01 AI040599/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 Jul 15;309(5733):436-42.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Wellcome Trust Genome Campus, Hinxton, Cambridgeshire CB10 1SA, UK. alicat@sanger.ac.uk〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16020728" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A DNA sequence coding for the immunogenic capsid protein VP3 of foot-and-mouth disease virus A12, prepared from the virion RNA, was ligated to a plasmid designed to express a chimeric protein from the Escherichia coli tryptophan promoter-operator system. When Escherichia coli transformed with this plasmid was grown in tryptophan-depleted media, approximately 17 percent of the total cellular protein was found to be an insoluble and stable chimeric protein. The purified chimeric protein competed equally on a molar basis with VP3 for specific antibodies to foot-and-mouth disease virus. When inoculated into six cattle and two swine, this protein elicited high levels of neutralizing antibody and protection against challenge with foot-and-mouth disease virus.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kleid, D G -- Yansura, D -- Small, B -- Dowbenko, D -- Moore, D M -- Grubman, M J -- McKercher, P D -- Morgan, D O -- Robertson, B H -- Bachrach, H L -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1981 Dec 4;214(4525):1125-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6272395" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Caloric restriction (CR) protects against aging and disease, but the mechanisms by which this affects mammalian life span are unclear. We show in mice that deletion of ribosomal S6 protein kinase 1 (S6K1), a component of the nutrient-responsive mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) signaling pathway, led to increased life span and resistance to age-related pathologies, such as bone, immune, and motor dysfunction and loss of insulin sensitivity. Deletion of S6K1 induced gene expression patterns similar to those seen in CR or with pharmacological activation of adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a conserved regulator of the metabolic response to CR. Our results demonstrate that S6K1 influences healthy mammalian life-span and suggest that therapeutic manipulation of S6K1 and AMPK might mimic CR and could provide broad protection against diseases of aging.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Selman, Colin -- Tullet, Jennifer M A -- Wieser, Daniela -- Irvine, Elaine -- Lingard, Steven J -- Choudhury, Agharul I -- Claret, Marc -- Al-Qassab, Hind -- Carmignac, Danielle -- Ramadani, Faruk -- Woods, Angela -- Robinson, Iain C A -- Schuster, Eugene -- Batterham, Rachel L -- Kozma, Sara C -- Thomas, George -- Carling, David -- Okkenhaug, Klaus -- Thornton, Janet M -- Partridge, Linda -- Gems, David -- Withers, Dominic J -- BBS/E/B/0000C236/Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council/United Kingdom -- BBS/E/B/0000M979/Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council/United Kingdom -- G0800339/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- G108/551/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- MC_U117531708/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- MC_U120027537/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- MC_U120097114/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council/United Kingdom -- Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2009 Oct 2;326(5949):140-4. doi: 10.1126/science.1177221.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute of Healthy Ageing, Centre for Diabetes and Endocrinology, Department of Medicine, University College London, London WC1E 6JJ, UK.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19797661" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Plasmodium berghei and Plasmodium chabaudi are widely used model malaria species. Comparison of their genomes, integrated with proteomic and microarray data, with the genomes of Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium yoelii revealed a conserved core of 4500 Plasmodium genes in the central regions of the 14 chromosomes and highlighted genes evolving rapidly because of stage-specific selective pressures. Four strategies for gene expression are apparent during the parasites' life cycle: (i) housekeeping; (ii) host-related; (iii) strategy-specific related to invasion, asexual replication, and sexual development; and (iv) stage-specific. We observed posttranscriptional gene silencing through translational repression of messenger RNA during sexual development, and a 47-base 3' untranslated region motif is implicated in this process.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hall, Neil -- Karras, Marianna -- Raine, J Dale -- Carlton, Jane M -- Kooij, Taco W A -- Berriman, Matthew -- Florens, Laurence -- Janssen, Christoph S -- Pain, Arnab -- Christophides, Georges K -- James, Keith -- Rutherford, Kim -- Harris, Barbara -- Harris, David -- Churcher, Carol -- Quail, Michael A -- Ormond, Doug -- Doggett, Jon -- Trueman, Holly E -- Mendoza, Jacqui -- Bidwell, Shelby L -- Rajandream, Marie-Adele -- Carucci, Daniel J -- Yates, John R 3rd -- Kafatos, Fotis C -- Janse, Chris J -- Barrell, Bart -- Turner, C Michael R -- Waters, Andrew P -- Sinden, Robert E -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 Jan 7;307(5706):82-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Pathogen Sequencing Unit, Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Genome Campus, Hinxton, Cambridge CB10 1SA, UK. nhall@tigr.org〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15637271" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The genome of the eukaryotic protist Giardia lamblia, an important human intestinal parasite, is compact in structure and content, contains few introns or mitochondrial relics, and has simplified machinery for DNA replication, transcription, RNA processing, and most metabolic pathways. Protein kinases comprise the single largest protein class and reflect Giardia's requirement for a complex signal transduction network for coordinating differentiation. Lateral gene transfer from bacterial and archaeal donors has shaped Giardia's genome, and previously unknown gene families, for example, cysteine-rich structural proteins, have been discovered. Unexpectedly, the genome shows little evidence of heterozygosity, supporting recent speculations that this organism is sexual. This genome sequence will not only be valuable for investigating the evolution of eukaryotes, but will also be applied to the search for new therapeutics for this parasite.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Morrison, Hilary G -- McArthur, Andrew G -- Gillin, Frances D -- Aley, Stephen B -- Adam, Rodney D -- Olsen, Gary J -- Best, Aaron A -- Cande, W Zacheus -- Chen, Feng -- Cipriano, Michael J -- Davids, Barbara J -- Dawson, Scott C -- Elmendorf, Heidi G -- Hehl, Adrian B -- Holder, Michael E -- Huse, Susan M -- Kim, Ulandt U -- Lasek-Nesselquist, Erica -- Manning, Gerard -- Nigam, Anuranjini -- Nixon, Julie E J -- Palm, Daniel -- Passamaneck, Nora E -- Prabhu, Anjali -- Reich, Claudia I -- Reiner, David S -- Samuelson, John -- Svard, Staffan G -- Sogin, Mitchell L -- AI42488/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI43273/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI51687/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI043273/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI048082/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG004164/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG004164-01/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2007 Sep 28;317(5846):1921-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, MA 02543-1015, USA. morrison@mbl.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17901334" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: We describe a pathogenetic mechanism underlying a variant form of the inherited blood disorder alpha thalassemia. Association studies of affected individuals from Melanesia localized the disease trait to the telomeric region of human chromosome 16, which includes the alpha-globin gene cluster, but no molecular defects were detected by conventional approaches. After resequencing and using a combination of chromatin immunoprecipitation and expression analysis on a tiled oligonucleotide array, we identified a gain-of-function regulatory single-nucleotide polymorphism (rSNP) in a nongenic region between the alpha-globin genes and their upstream regulatory elements. The rSNP creates a new promoterlike element that interferes with normal activation of all downstream alpha-like globin genes. Thus, our work illustrates a strategy for distinguishing between neutral and functionally important rSNPs, and it also identifies a pathogenetic mechanism that could potentially underlie other genetic diseases.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉De Gobbi, Marco -- Viprakasit, Vip -- Hughes, Jim R -- Fisher, Chris -- Buckle, Veronica J -- Ayyub, Helena -- Gibbons, Richard J -- Vernimmen, Douglas -- Yoshinaga, Yuko -- de Jong, Pieter -- Cheng, Jan-Fang -- Rubin, Edward M -- Wood, William G -- Bowden, Don -- Higgs, Douglas R -- MC_U137961143/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- MC_U137961145/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- MC_U137961147/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2006 May 26;312(5777):1215-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Medical Research Council Molecular Haematology Unit, Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine, John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, OX3 9DS, UK.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16728641" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Germ-free mice were maintained on polysaccharide-rich or simple-sugar diets and colonized for 10 days with an organism also found in human guts, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, followed by whole-genome transcriptional profiling of bacteria and mass spectrometry of cecal glycans. We found that these bacteria assembled on food particles and mucus, selectively induced outer-membrane polysaccharide-binding proteins and glycoside hydrolases, prioritized the consumption of liberated hexose sugars, and revealed a capacity to turn to host mucus glycans when polysaccharides were absent from the diet. This flexible foraging behavior should contribute to ecosystem stability and functional diversity.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sonnenburg, Justin L -- Xu, Jian -- Leip, Douglas D -- Chen, Chien-Huan -- Westover, Benjamin P -- Weatherford, Jeremy -- Buhler, Jeremy D -- Gordon, Jeffrey I -- DK052574/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- DK30292/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 Mar 25;307(5717):1955-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Center for Genome Sciences, Washington University, St. Louis, MO 63108, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15790854" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Cryptococcus neoformans is a basidiomycetous yeast ubiquitous in the environment, a model for fungal pathogenesis, and an opportunistic human pathogen of global importance. We have sequenced its approximately 20-megabase genome, which contains approximately 6500 intron-rich gene structures and encodes a transcriptome abundant in alternatively spliced and antisense messages. The genome is rich in transposons, many of which cluster at candidate centromeric regions. The presence of these transposons may drive karyotype instability and phenotypic variation. C. neoformans encodes unique genes that may contribute to its unusual virulence properties, and comparison of two phenotypically distinct strains reveals variation in gene content in addition to sequence polymorphisms between the genomes.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3520129/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3520129/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Loftus, Brendan J -- Fung, Eula -- Roncaglia, Paola -- Rowley, Don -- Amedeo, Paolo -- Bruno, Dan -- Vamathevan, Jessica -- Miranda, Molly -- Anderson, Iain J -- Fraser, James A -- Allen, Jonathan E -- Bosdet, Ian E -- Brent, Michael R -- Chiu, Readman -- Doering, Tamara L -- Donlin, Maureen J -- D'Souza, Cletus A -- Fox, Deborah S -- Grinberg, Viktoriya -- Fu, Jianmin -- Fukushima, Marilyn -- Haas, Brian J -- Huang, James C -- Janbon, Guilhem -- Jones, Steven J M -- Koo, Hean L -- Krzywinski, Martin I -- Kwon-Chung, June K -- Lengeler, Klaus B -- Maiti, Rama -- Marra, Marco A -- Marra, Robert E -- Mathewson, Carrie A -- Mitchell, Thomas G -- Pertea, Mihaela -- Riggs, Florenta R -- Salzberg, Steven L -- Schein, Jacqueline E -- Shvartsbeyn, Alla -- Shin, Heesun -- Shumway, Martin -- Specht, Charles A -- Suh, Bernard B -- Tenney, Aaron -- Utterback, Terry R -- Wickes, Brian L -- Wortman, Jennifer R -- Wye, Natasja H -- Kronstad, James W -- Lodge, Jennifer K -- Heitman, Joseph -- Davis, Ronald W -- Fraser, Claire M -- Hyman, Richard W -- AI47087/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI48594/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI050184/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI050184-05/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL088905/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL088905-04A2/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 Feb 25;307(5713):1321-4.

    Description: Small interfering RNA (siRNA) guides dimethylation of histone H3 lysine-9 (H3K9me2) via the Argonaute and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase complexes, as well as base-pairing with either RNA or DNA. We show that Argonaute requires the conserved aspartate-aspartate-histidine motif for heterochromatic silencing and for ribonuclease H-like cleavage (slicing) of target messages complementary to siRNA. In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, heterochromatic repeats are transcribed by polymerase II. We show that H3K9me2 spreads into silent reporter genes when they are embedded within these transcripts and that spreading requires read-through transcription, as well as slicing by Argonaute. Thus, siRNA guides histone modification by basepairing interactions with RNA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Irvine, Danielle V -- Zaratiegui, Mikel -- Tolia, Niraj H -- Goto, Derek B -- Chitwood, Daniel H -- Vaughn, Matthew W -- Joshua-Tor, Leemor -- Martienssen, Robert A -- R01 GM076396/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM076396-01A1/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01-GM067014/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01-GM072659/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2006 Aug 25;313(5790):1134-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 1 Bungtown Road, Cold Spring Harbor, NY 11724, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16931764" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
