Carraro

The correct identification of all human genes, and their derived transcripts, has not yet been achieved, and it remains one of the major aims of the worldwide genomics community. Computational programs suggest the existence of 30,000 to 40,000 human genes. However, definitive gene identification can only be achieved by experim.. Read More»

Evaluation of window cohabitation of DNA sequencing errors and lowest PHRED quality values

Authors: Francisco Prosdocimi, Fabiano Cruz Peixoto and Jos�© Miguel Ortega

When analyzing sequencing reads, it is important to distinguish between putative correct and wrong bases. An open question is how a PHRED quality value is capable of identifying the miscalled bases and if there is a quality cutoff that allows mapping of most errors. Considering the fact that a low quality value does not necess.. Read More»

VSQual: a visual system to assist DNA sequencing quality control

Authors: Eliseu Binneck, Jo�£o Fl�¡vio V. Silva, Norman Neumaier,Jos�© Renato B. Farias and Alexandre L. Nepomuceno

A lack of pliant software tools that support small- to medium-scale DNA sequencing efforts is a major hindrance for recording and using laboratory workflow information to monitor the overall quality of data production. Here we describe VSQual, a set of Perl programs intended to provide simple and powerful tools to check severa.. Read More»

Comparative analysis of noncoding sequences of orthologous bovine and human gene pairs

Authors: Melissa Nunes Miziara, Penny K. Riggs and M. Elisabete J. Amaral

Genomic sequence comparison across species has enabled the elucidation of important coding and regulatory sequences encoded within DNA. Of particular interest are the noncoding regulatory sequences, which influence gene transcriptional and posttranscriptional processes. A phylogenetic footprinting strategy was employed to iden..

Cross-contamination with tamoxifen induces transgene expression in non-exposed inducible transgenic mice

Authors: Rachael L. Brake, Paul J. Simmons and C. Glenn Begley

Inducible transgenic mouse models that impose a constraint on both temporal and spatial expression of a given transgene are invaluable. These animals facilitate experiments that can address the role of a specific cell or group of cells within an animal or in a particular window of time. A common approach to achieve inducibilit..

Easy detection of green fluorescent proteinmulticopy transformants in Penicillium griseoroseum

Authors: Francis J.F. Lopes, Elza F. de Ara�ºjo and Marisa V. de Queiroz

Penicillium griseoroseum, a deuteromycete fungus producer of pectinolytic enzymes, was transformed with a gene encoding for green fluorescent protein (GFP). The selection of transformants was based on the homologous nitrate reductase gene (niaD). Protoplasts of a P. griseoroseum Nia mutant (PG63) were co-transformed with the p.. Read More»
