We present an analysis of over 1,100 of the∼ 10,000 predicted proteins encoded by the
genome sequence of the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa. Seven major areas of …

Zinc finger proteins containing the Kruppel associated box (KRAB-ZFPs) constitute the
largest individual family of transcriptional repressors encoded by the genomes of higher …

We present here a draft genome sequence of the red jungle fowl, Gallus gallus. Because the
chicken is a modern descendant of the dinosaurs and the first non-mammalian amniote to …

Background The BTB domain (also known as the POZ domain) is a versatile protein-protein
interaction motif that participates in a wide range of cellular functions, including …

Chromosome 19 has the highest gene density of all human chromosomes, more than
double the genome-wide average. The large clustered gene families, corresponding high …

Krüppel-type zinc finger (ZNF) motifs are prevalent components of transcription factor
proteins in all eukaryotes. KRAB-ZNF proteins, in which a potent repressor domain is …

The majority of human genes are conserved among mammals, but some gene families have
undergone extensive expansion in particular lineages. Here, we present an evolutionary …

The onset of prezygotic and postzygotic barriers to gene flow between populations is a
hallmark of speciation. One of the earliest postzygotic isolating barriers to arise between …

We tested the hypothesis that queen mandibular pheromone (QMP) causes changes in
gene expression in the brain of the adult worker honey bee, and that these changes can be …

Vertebrate genomes encode large and highly variable numbers of tandem C2H2 zinc finger
(tandem ZF) transcription factor proteins. In mammals, most tandem ZF genes also encode a …
