  • The absence of gene trfkbp12 made the cellulase production in T . reesei more sensitive to the NMD pathway inhibitor. (researchsquare.com)
  • New secondary mesenchyme specific genes, expressed exclusively in pigment cells, were isolated from sea urchin embryos using a differential screening of a macroarray cDNA library. (silverchair.com)
  • Conservation of KOGs through the phyletic range of eukaryotes strongly correlates with their functions and with the effect of gene knockout on the organism's viability. (biomedcentral.com)
