Genome-scale approach proves that the lungfish-coelacanth sister group is the closest living relative of tetrapods with the BEST program
The origin of tetrapods has not been resolved for decades. Three principal hypotheses (lungfish-tetrapod, coelacanth-tetrapod, or lungfish-coelacanth sister group) have been proposed. We used the B…

A new multicompartmental reaction-diffusion modeling method links transient membrane attachment of E. coli MinE to E-ring formation
Many important cellular processes are regulated by reaction-diffusion (RD) of molecules that takes place both in the cytoplasm and on the membrane. To model and analyze such multicompartmental proc…

Mega- change gene copies are produced by reverse transcription of precursor RNA with replaced introns.
This report describes the presence of copy genes in plants where the sequence similarity to their parental genes is almost completely limited to limited to the exons. Evidence is presented that ind…
