The analysis of capped RNAs by massively parallel sequencing has identified a large number of previously unknown transcripts, some of which are small RNAs and others are 5M-bM-^@M-^Y truncated forms of RefSeq genes. The latter may be generated by endonuclease cleavage or by stalling of Xrn1 at defi...
Dietary restriction (DR) is the best-characterized intervention for slowing aging, and reduced signaling through the target of rapamycin (TOR) kinase is believed to be one of the key mechanisms by which DR extends life span in organisms from yeast to mammals. Here we describe a role for nuclear seq...
Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of bloodstream infections worldwide. In the United States, many of these infections are caused by a strain known as USA300. Although progress has been made, our understanding of the S. aureus molecules that promote bacteremia and survival in human blood is ...
Since the early stages of tumorigenesis involve adhesion, escape from immune surveillance, vascularization and angiogenesis, we devised a strategy to study the expression profiles of all publicly known and putative secreted and cell surface genes. We designed a custom oligonucleotide microarray cont...
