Retention of autonomous replicating plasmids in cultured Drosophila cells
Six kinds of autonomously replicating sequences (ARSs) derived from Drosophila or tobacco were inserted into the vector pDSV, constructed with pSV2-gpt and the copia long terminal repeat (LTR). The resulting ARS-...

The centromere composition of multiple repetitive sequences on rice chromosome 5
The large-scale primary structure of the centromeric region of rice chromosome 5 was analyzed, the first example in a cereal species. The yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) and bacterial artificial chromosome ...

Identification, characterization and interaction of HAP family genes in rice
A HAP complex, which consists of three subunits, namely HAP2 (also called NF-YA or CBF-B), HAP3 (NF-YB/CBF-A) and HAP5 (NF-YC/CBF-C), binds to CCAAT sequences in a promoter to control the expression of target ...

MNU-induced mutant pools and high performance TILLING enable finding of any gene mutation in rice
Mutant populations are indispensable genetic resources for functional genomics in all organisms. However, suitable rice mutant populations, induced either by chemicals or irradiation still have been rarely dev...

Open AccessA simple optimization can improve the performance of single feature polymorphism detection by Affymetrix expression arrays
High-density oligonucleotide arrays are effective tools for genoty** numerous loci simultaneously. In small genome species (genome size: < ~300 Mb), whole-genome DNA hybridization to expression arrays has be...

DDM1 (Decrease in DNA Methylation) genes in rice (Oryza sativa)
Regulation of cytosine methylation in the plant genome is of pivotal in determining the epigenetic states of chromosome regions. Relative tolerance of plant to deficiency in cytosine methylation provides unpar...

Open AccessRiTE database: a resource database for genus-wide rice genomics and evolutionary biology
Comparative evolutionary analysis of whole genomes requires not only accurate annotation of gene space, but also proper annotation of the repetitive fraction which is often the largest component of most if not...

Rapid turnover of antimicrobial-type cysteine-rich protein genes in closely related Oryza genomes
Defensive and reproductive protein genes undergo rapid evolution. Small, cysteine-rich secreted peptides (CRPs) act as antimicrobial agents and function in plant intercellular signaling and are over-represente...

Article
Open AccessGlobal expression differences and tissue specific expression differences in rice evolution result in two contrasting types of differentially expressed genes
Since the development of transcriptome analysis systems, many expression evolution studies characterized evolutionary forces acting on gene expression, without explicit discrimination between global expression...

Open AccessGenomes of 13 domesticated and wild rice relatives highlight genetic conservation, turnover and innovation across the genus Oryza
The genus Oryza is a model system for the study of molecular evolution over time scales ranging from a few thousand to 15 million years. Using 13 reference genomes spanning the Oryza species tree, we show that de...

Publisher Correction: Genomes of 13 domesticated and wild rice relatives highlight genetic conservation, turnover and innovation across the genus Oryza
This article was not made open access when initially published online, which was corrected before print publication. In addition, ORCID links were missing for 12 authors and have been added to the HTML and PDF...
