Tail kinkiness varies among genetically identical littermates
Axin is a regulator of Wnt signaling, and a mutation in the axin gene can lead to cloned mice differing in the kinkiness of their tail, as shown in today’s Open Access File of the Day. Fig. 1 of the feature Human Epigenome … Continue reading

A snapshot of versatility
Wolbachia is one of the favourite model systems in evolutionary biology and theoretical biology, as it has such a wide range of effects on the hosts it resides in. When the first Wolbachia genome was published in 2004, the paper was … Continue reading

How would you illustrate the difference between humans and chimps?
A paper in PLoS Biology came out in 2005 with the following abstract: Since the divergence of humans and chimpanzees about 5 million years ago, these species have undergone a remarkable evolution with drastic divergence in anatomy and cognitive abilities. … Continue reading

Alu elements in our genomes
Today’s Open Access File of the Day shows the chromosomes in a lymphocyte of a woman. Red marks DNA in general, green gene-rich regions therein that are known as Alu elements. Cropped from the composite Fig. 7 of the article Three-Dimensional Maps of All Chromosomes … Continue reading

Open Access File of the Day on Wikimedia Commons: Quarter of Arthrobacter arilaitensis Re117 genome.png
Today’s Open Access File of the Day shows a quarter of the genome of a strain of the bacterium Arthrobacter arilaitensis. I mention the quarter because it is a derivation of the original depiction of the full genome. The file was published as … Continue reading
