    Genomic instability in mice lacking histone H2AX (2002)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2002-04-06
    Description: Higher order chromatin structure presents a barrier to the recognition and repair of DNA damage. Double-strand breaks (DSBs) induce histone H2AX phosphorylation, which is associated with the recruitment of repair factors to damaged DNA. To help clarify the physiological role of H2AX, we targeted H2AX in mice. Although H2AX is not essential for irradiation-induced cell-cycle checkpoints, H2AX-/- mice were radiation sensitive, growth retarded, and immune deficient, and mutant males were infertile. These pleiotropic phenotypes were associated with chromosomal instability, repair defects, and impaired recruitment of Nbs1, 53bp1, and Brca1, but not Rad51, to irradiation-induced foci. Thus, H2AX is critical for facilitating the assembly of specific DNA-repair complexes on damaged DNA.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4721576/" 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/PMC4721576/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Celeste, Arkady -- Petersen, Simone -- Romanienko, Peter J -- Fernandez-Capetillo, Oscar -- Chen, Hua Tang -- Sedelnikova, Olga A -- Reina-San-Martin, Bernardo -- Coppola, Vincenzo -- Meffre, Eric -- Difilippantonio, Michael J -- Redon, Christophe -- Pilch, Duane R -- Olaru, Alexandru -- Eckhaus, Michael -- Camerini-Otero, R Daniel -- Tessarollo, Lino -- Livak, Ferenc -- Manova, Katia -- Bonner, William M -- Nussenzweig, Michel C -- Nussenzweig, Andre -- Z99 CA999999/Intramural NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2002 May 3;296(5569):922-7.

    Arabidopsis transcription factors: genome-wide comparative analysis among eukaryotes (2000)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2000-12-16
    Description: The completion of the Arabidopsis thaliana genome sequence allows a comparative analysis of transcriptional regulators across the three eukaryotic kingdoms. Arabidopsis dedicates over 5% of its genome to code for more than 1500 transcription factors, about 45% of which are from families specific to plants. Arabidopsis transcription factors that belong to families common to all eukaryotes do not share significant similarity with those of the other kingdoms beyond the conserved DNA binding domains, many of which have been arranged in combinations specific to each lineage. The genome-wide comparison reveals the evolutionary generation of diversity in the regulation of transcription.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Riechmann, J L -- Heard, J -- Martin, G -- Reuber, L -- Jiang, C -- Keddie, J -- Adam, L -- Pineda, O -- Ratcliffe, O J -- Samaha, R R -- Creelman, R -- Pilgrim, M -- Broun, P -- Zhang, J Z -- Ghandehari, D -- Sherman, B K -- Yu, G -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Dec 15;290(5499):2105-10.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Mendel Biotechnology, 21375 Cabot Boulevard, Hayward, CA 94545, USA. jriechmann@mendelbio.com〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11118137" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Complete genome sequence of Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B strain MC58 (2000)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2000-03-10
    Description: The 2,272,351-base pair genome of Neisseria meningitidis strain MC58 (serogroup B), a causative agent of meningitis and septicemia, contains 2158 predicted coding regions, 1158 (53.7%) of which were assigned a biological role. Three major islands of horizontal DNA transfer were identified; two of these contain genes encoding proteins involved in pathogenicity, and the third island contains coding sequences only for hypothetical proteins. Insights into the commensal and virulence behavior of N. meningitidis can be gleaned from the genome, in which sequences for structural proteins of the pilus are clustered and several coding regions unique to serogroup B capsular polysaccharide synthesis can be identified. Finally, N. meningitidis contains more genes that undergo phase variation than any pathogen studied to date, a mechanism that controls their expression and contributes to the evasion of the host immune system.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Tettelin, H -- Saunders, N J -- Heidelberg, J -- Jeffries, A C -- Nelson, K E -- Eisen, J A -- Ketchum, K A -- Hood, D W -- Peden, J F -- Dodson, R J -- Nelson, W C -- Gwinn, M L -- DeBoy, R -- Peterson, J D -- Hickey, E K -- Haft, D H -- Salzberg, S L -- White, O -- Fleischmann, R D -- Dougherty, B A -- Mason, T -- Ciecko, A -- Parksey, D S -- Blair, E -- Cittone, H -- Clark, E B -- Cotton, M D -- Utterback, T R -- Khouri, H -- Qin, H -- Vamathevan, J -- Gill, J -- Scarlato, V -- Masignani, V -- Pizza, M -- Grandi, G -- Sun, L -- Smith, H O -- Fraser, C M -- Moxon, E R -- Rappuoli, R -- Venter, J C -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Mar 10;287(5459):1809-15.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR), 9712 Medical Center Drive, Rockville, MD 20850, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10710307" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Complete genome sequence of a virulent isolate of Streptococcus pneumoniae (2001)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2001-07-21
    Description: The 2,160,837-base pair genome sequence of an isolate of Streptococcus pneumoniae, a Gram-positive pathogen that causes pneumonia, bacteremia, meningitis, and otitis media, contains 2236 predicted coding regions; of these, 1440 (64%) were assigned a biological role. Approximately 5% of the genome is composed of insertion sequences that may contribute to genome rearrangements through uptake of foreign DNA. Extracellular enzyme systems for the metabolism of polysaccharides and hexosamines provide a substantial source of carbon and nitrogen for S. pneumoniae and also damage host tissues and facilitate colonization. A motif identified within the signal peptide of proteins is potentially involved in targeting these proteins to the cell surface of low-guanine/cytosine (GC) Gram-positive species. Several surface-exposed proteins that may serve as potential vaccine candidates were identified. Comparative genome hybridization with DNA arrays revealed strain differences in S. pneumoniae that could contribute to differences in virulence and antigenicity.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Tettelin, H -- Nelson, K E -- Paulsen, I T -- Eisen, J A -- Read, T D -- Peterson, S -- Heidelberg, J -- DeBoy, R T -- Haft, D H -- Dodson, R J -- Durkin, A S -- Gwinn, M -- Kolonay, J F -- Nelson, W C -- Peterson, J D -- Umayam, L A -- White, O -- Salzberg, S L -- Lewis, M R -- Radune, D -- Holtzapple, E -- Khouri, H -- Wolf, A M -- Utterback, T R -- Hansen, C L -- McDonald, L A -- Feldblyum, T V -- Angiuoli, S -- Dickinson, T -- Hickey, E K -- Holt, I E -- Loftus, B J -- Yang, F -- Smith, H O -- Venter, J C -- Dougherty, B A -- Morrison, D A -- Hollingshead, S K -- Fraser, C M -- R01 AI40645-01A1/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2001 Jul 20;293(5529):498-506.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR), 9712 Medical Center Drive, Rockville, MD 20850, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11463916" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Dielectrophoretic assembly of electrically functional microwires from nanoparticle suspensions (2001)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2001-11-03
    Description: A new class of microwires can be assembled by dielectrophoresis from suspensions of metallic nanoparticles. The wires are formed in the gaps between planar electrodes and can grow faster than 50 micrometers per second to lengths exceeding 5 millimeters. They have good ohmic conductance and automatically form electrical connections to conductive islands or particles. The thickness and the fractal dimension of the wires can be controlled, and composite wires with a metallic core surrounded by a latex shell can be assembled. The simple assembly process and their high surface-to-volume ratio make these structures promising for wet electronic and bioelectronic circuits.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hermanson, K D -- Lumsdon, S O -- Williams, J P -- Kaler, E W -- Velev, O D -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2001 Nov 2;294(5544):1082-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Center for Molecular and Engineering Thermodynamics, Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Delaware, Newark, DE 19716, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11691987" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Recent Earth oblateness variations: unraveling climate and postglacial rebound effects (2002)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2002-12-10
    Description: Earth's dynamic oblateness (J2) has been decreasing due to postglacial rebound (PGR). However, J2 began to increase in 1997, indicating a pronounced global-scale mass redistribution within Earth's system. We have determined that the observed increases in J2 are caused primarily by a recent surge in subpolar glacial melting and by mass shifts in the Southern, Pacific, and Indian oceans. When these effects are removed, the residual trend in J2 (-2.9 x 10(-11) year-1) becomes consistent with previous estimates of PGR from satellite and eclipse data. The climatic significance of these rapid shifts in glacial and oceanic mass, however, remains to be investigated.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Dickey, Jean O -- Marcus, Steven L -- de Viron, Olivier -- Fukumori, Ichiro -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2002 Dec 6;298(5600):1975-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 91109, USA. jean.o.dickey@jpl.nasa.gov〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12471253" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Immunoglobulin-domain proteins required for maintenance of ventral nerve cord organization (2002)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2002-01-26
    Description: During development, neurons extend axons along defined routes to specific target cells. We show that additional mechanisms ensure that axons maintain their correct positioning in defined axonal tracts. After termination of axonal outgrowth and target recognition, axons in the ventral nerve cord (VNC) of Caenorhabditis elegans require the presence of a specific VNC neuron, PVT, to maintain their correct positioning in the left and right fascicles of the VNC. PVT may exert its stabilizing function by the temporally tightly controlled secretion of 2-immunoglobulin (Ig)-domain proteins encoded by the zig genes. Dedicated axon maintenance mechanisms may be widely used to ensure the preservation of functional neuronal circuitries.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Aurelio, Oscar -- Hall, David H -- Hobert, Oliver -- 5F32NS11107-02/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- RR12596/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2002 Jan 25;295(5555):686-90.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics, Center for Neurobiology and Behavior, Columbia University, College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, NY 10032, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11809975" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A comparative analysis of the genomes of Drosophila melanogaster, Caenorhabditis elegans, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae-and the proteins they are predicted to encode-was undertaken in the context of cellular, developmental, and evolutionary processes. The nonredundant protein sets of flies and worms are similar in size and are only twice that of yeast, but different gene families are expanded in each genome, and the multidomain proteins and signaling pathways of the fly and worm are far more complex than those of yeast. The fly has orthologs to 177 of the 289 human disease genes examined and provides the foundation for rapid analysis of some of the basic processes involved in human disease.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2754258/" 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/PMC2754258/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rubin, G M -- Yandell, M D -- Wortman, J R -- Gabor Miklos, G L -- Nelson, C R -- Hariharan, I K -- Fortini, M E -- Li, P W -- Apweiler, R -- Fleischmann, W -- Cherry, J M -- Henikoff, S -- Skupski, M P -- Misra, S -- Ashburner, M -- Birney, E -- Boguski, M S -- Brody, T -- Brokstein, P -- Celniker, S E -- Chervitz, S A -- Coates, D -- Cravchik, A -- Gabrielian, A -- Galle, R F -- Gelbart, W M -- George, R A -- Goldstein, L S -- Gong, F -- Guan, P -- Harris, N L -- Hay, B A -- Hoskins, R A -- Li, J -- Li, Z -- Hynes, R O -- Jones, S J -- Kuehl, P M -- Lemaitre, B -- Littleton, J T -- Morrison, D K -- Mungall, C -- O'Farrell, P H -- Pickeral, O K -- Shue, C -- Vosshall, L B -- Zhang, J -- Zhao, Q -- Zheng, X H -- Lewis, S -- P4IHG00739/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- P50HG00750/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM037193/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM037193-14/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM037193-15/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM060988/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM060988-01/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS040296/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS040296-01/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Mar 24;287(5461):2204-15.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Department of Molecular and Cell Biology, Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10731134" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    The Indian Ocean experiment: widespread air pollution from South and Southeast Asia (2001)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2001-02-13
    Description: The Indian Ocean Experiment (INDOEX) was an international, multiplatform field campaign to measure long-range transport of air pollution from South and Southeast Asia toward the Indian Ocean during the dry monsoon season in January to March 1999. Surprisingly high pollution levels were observed over the entire northern Indian Ocean toward the Intertropical Convergence Zone at about 6 degrees S. We show that agricultural burning and especially biofuel use enhance carbon monoxide concentrations. Fossil fuel combustion and biomass burning cause a high aerosol loading. The growing pollution in this region gives rise to extensive air quality degradation with local, regional, and global implications, including a reduction of the oxidizing power of the atmosphere.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lelieveld, J -- Crutzen, P J -- Ramanathan, V -- Andreae, M O -- Brenninkmeijer, C M -- Campos, T -- Cass, G R -- Dickerson, R R -- Fischer, H -- de Gouw, J A -- Hansel, A -- Jefferson, A -- Kley, D -- de Laat, A T -- Lal, S -- Lawrence, M G -- Lobert, J M -- Mayol-Bracero, O L -- Mitra, A P -- Novakov, T -- Oltmans, S J -- Prather, K A -- Reiner, T -- Rodhe, H -- Scheeren, H A -- Sikka, D -- Williams, J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2001 Feb 9;291(5506):1031-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Max-Planck-Institute for Chemistry, Post Office Box 3060, D-55020 Mainz, Germany. lelieveld@mpch-mainz.mpg.de〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11161214" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Improving the health of the global poor (2002)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2002-03-16
    Description: We analyzed the technical basis for a major global program to reduce disease among the poor. Effective interventions exist against the few diseases which most account for excess mortality among the poor. Achieving high coverage of effective interventions requires a well-functioning health system, as well as overcoming a set of financial and nonfinancial constraints. The annual incremental cost would be between $40 billion and $52 billion by 2015 in 83 low-income and sub-Saharan African countries. Such a program is feasible and would avoid millions of child, maternal, and adult deaths annually in poor countries.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Jha, Prabhat -- Mills, Anne -- Hanson, Kara -- Kumaranayake, Lilani -- Conteh, Lesong -- Kurowski, Christoph -- Nguyen, Son Nam -- Cruz, Valeria Oliveira -- Ranson, Kent -- Vaz, Lara M E -- Yu, Shengchao -- Morton, Oliver -- Sachs, Jeffrey D -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2002 Mar 15;295(5562):2036-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉World Health Organization (WHO), Geneva 01220, Switzerland. jhap@who.int〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11896266" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
