Research Briefs


From The Architectural Dynamics in Living Cells Program (ADLC)

Michael Shribak was promoted from Assistant Research Scientist to Associate Research Scientist in February.

From the McArthur Lab (JBPC)

Wilson, J.Y., A.G. McArthur, and J.J. Stegeman. 2005. Characterization of a cetacean aromatase (CYP19) and the phylogeny and functional conservation of vertebrate aromatase. General and Comparative Endocrinology 140: 74-83.


From the Riley Lab (JBPC)

The Riley lab hosted an “E. coli Annotation Workshop,” funded by the NIH, from March 19 to 24, 2005. The workshop attracted an international group of scientists working on the annotation of E. coli. The data produced will be made available to the scientific community. Work on the E. coli proteome by Monica Riley and Gretta Serres can be found at <http://genprotec.mbl.edu>. Gretta is also currently analyzing the genome of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, a microbe with diverse respiratory abilities of interest to Department of Energy.
From the Wernegreen Lab (JBPC)

Herbeck J.T., P.H. Degnan, and J.J. Wernegreen. 2005. Nonhomogeneous model of sequence evolution indicates independent origins of primary endosymbionts within the enterobacteriales (gamma-Proteobacteria). Mol Biol Evol. 22(3): 520-32.

Reznikoff, W.S., S.R. Bordenstein and J. Apodaca. 2004. Comparative sequence analysis of Tn5 transposase. J Bacteriol 186: 8240-8247.
