Comparative genomic analysis of the arthropod muscle myosin heavy chain genes allows ancestral gene reconstruction and reveals a new type of 'partially' processed pseudogene (2008)

Odronitz, Florian, Kollmar, Martin

Abstract Background Alternative splicing of mutually exclusive exons is an important mechanism for increasing protein diversity in eukaryotes. The insect Mhc (myosin heavy chain) gene produces all...

Drawing the tree of eukaryotic life based on the analysis of 2,269 manually annotated myosins from 328 species (2007)

Odronitz, Florian, Kollmar, Martin

Abstract Background The evolutionary history of organisms is expressed in phylogenetic trees. The most widely used phylogenetic trees describing the evolution of all organisms have been constructed...

diArk – a resource for eukaryotic genome research (2007)

Odronitz, Florian, Hellkamp, Marcel, Kollmar, Martin

Abstract Background The number of completed eukaryotic genome sequences and cDNA projects has increased exponentially in the past few years although most of them have not been published yet. In...

Pfarao: a web application for protein family analysis customized for cytoskeletal and motor proteins (CyMoBase) (2006)

Odronitz, Florian, Kollmar, Martin

Abstract Background Annotation of protein sequences of eukaryotic organisms is crucial for the understanding of their function in the cell. Manual annotation is still by far the most accurate way to...

Establishment and Characterisation of an in vitro Replication System with Human Cell Extracts (2004)

Odronitz, Florian

In the work presented, I was able to characterise several aspects of an in vitro DNA replication system with human cell extracts.I could confirm that plasmids without special sequence characteristics...

Drawing the tree of eukaryotic life based on the analysis of 2,269 manually annotated myosins from 328 species

Odronitz, Florian, Kollmar, Martin

The tree of eukaryotic life was reconstructed based on the analysis of 2,269 myosin motor domains from 328 organisms, confirming some accepted relationships of major taxa and resolving disputed and...
