• Temperature controls the genetic message

  A team of scientists at the CSIC has shown that temperature can play a critical role in the control of splicing. The team led by Josep Vilardell, ICREA scientist at the CSIC's Molecular Biology Institute of Barcelona, has demonstrated that temperature, through its effects on RNA structure, can contr more

• Scientist IDs genes that promise to make biofuel production more efficient, economical

  A University of Illinois metabolic engineer has taken the first step toward the more efficient and economical production of biofuels by developing a strain of yeast with increased alcohol tolerance. Biofuels are produced through microbial fermentation of biomass crops, which yield the alcohol-based more

• Novozymes Biopharma announces new study data using Recombumin in protein drug formulation

  Novozymes Biopharma, part of Novozymes A/S, announced new data which demonstrates extended shelf life of protein drug products using Recombumin, recombinant human albumin. The data, presented for the first time at a recent protein-focused industry event, reveals the potential for Recombumin to redu more

• Methylation of the Arginine 2 in Histone H3 Controls Deposition of Lysine 4 Tri-Methylation
  

  In a recent study, Kirmizis et al. demonstrated that H3R2 is methylated not only in mammals but also in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. By using a specific H3R2me2a antibody in a ChIP-on-Chip analysis the authors determined the distribution of the methylation throughout the yeast genome, finding an enrichment of H3R2me2a at all heterochromatic genes, at inactive euchromatic genes, and at the 3´-end of moderately transcribed genes. The presence of H3R2 methylation inversely correlates with the presence of H3K4 tri-methylation (H3K4me3) in all cases, reflecting the fact that H3R2 methylation disrupts the ability of the Set1-complex to methyl­ate H3K4 by preventing the Set1-methyltransferase subunit Spp1 from binding to to histone H3. These results show that H3R2 methylation controls the distribution of H3K4me3 and provide the first mechanistic insight into the function of arginine methylation on chromatin. more

• Genome Sequencer 20 System: Breakthrough in a New Applications Age of Sequencing
  

  The Genome Sequencer 20 System is an ultra-high-throughput automated DNA sequencing system capable of carrying out and monitoring sequencing reactions in a massively parallel fashion. Since the Genome Sequencer 20 System provides a complete solution for ultra-high-throughput DNA sequencing, an individual researcher can for the first time prepare samples and sequencing reactions, generate sequence reads, and assemble genome sequence data within days. more

• GC-Biased Gene Conversion in Yeast Is Specifically Associated with Crossovers: Molecular Mechanisms and Evolutionary Significance

  GC-biased gene conversion (gBGC) is a process associated with recombination that favors the transmission of GC alleles over AT alleles during meiosis. gBGC plays a major role in genome evolution in many eukaryotes. However, the molecular mechanisms of gBGC are still unknown. Different steps of the more

• Yeast Proteome Variations Reveal Different Adaptive Responses to Grape Must Fermentation

  Saccharomyces cerevisiae and S. uvarum are two domesticated species of the Saccharomyces sensu stricto clade that diverged around 100 Ma after whole-genome duplication. Both have retained many duplicated genes associated with glucose fermentation and are characterized by the ability to achieve grap more

• RNA recognition by the DNA end-binding Ku heterodimer [ARTICLES]

  Most nucleic acid-binding proteins selectively bind either DNA or RNA, but not both nucleic acids. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ku heterodimer is unusual in that it has two very different biologically relevant binding modes: (1) Ku is a sequence-nonspecific double-stranded DNA end-binding protein w more
