Visualization of Syntenic Relationships With SynBrowse
Synteny is the preserved order of genes between related species. To detect syntenic regions one usually first applies sequence comparison methods to the genomic sequences of the considered species. Sequence si...

Generation of a Proteolytic Signal: E3/E2-Mediated Polyubiquitination of IκBα
A key regulatory node in NF-κB signaling is the removal of the IκBα inhibitor, whose levels are tightly controlled by the ubiquitin–proteasome system. In response to signal activation and transmission, ubiquit...
