Simon, Andreas, Glöckner, Gernot, Felder, Marius, Melkonian, Michael, Becker, Burkhard

Abstract Background The Viridiplantae (land plants and green algae) consist of two monophyletic lineages, the Chlorophyta and the Streptophyta. The Streptophyta include all embryophytes and a small...

The Dictyosteliumgenome encodes numerous RasGEFs with multiple biological roles (2005)

Wilkins, Andrew, Szafranski, Karol, Fraser, Derek J, Bakthavatsalam, Deenadayalan, Müller, Rolf, Fisher, Paul R, ...

Abstract Background Dictyostelium discoideum is a eukaryote with a simple lifestyle and a relatively small genome whose sequence has been fully determined. It is widely used for studies on cell...

Identification and phylogenetic analysis of Dictyostelium discoideumkinesin proteins (2003)

Kollmar, Martin, Glöckner, Gernot

Abstract Background Kinesins constitute a large superfamily of motor proteins in eukaryotic cells. They perform diverse tasks such as vesicle and organelle transport and chromosomal segregation in a...

The Dictyostelium discoideum family of Rho-related proteins

Rivero, Francisco, Dislich, Heidrun, Glöckner, Gernot, Noegel, Angelika A.

Taking advantage of the ongoing Dictyostelium genome sequencing project, we have assembled >73 kb of genomic DNA in 15 contigs harbouring 15 genes and one pseudogene of Rho-related proteins....

Large-Scale Sequencing of Two Regions in Human Chromosome 7q22: Analysis of 650 kb of Genomic Sequence around the EPO and CUTL1 Loci Reveals 17 Genes

Glöckner, Gernot, Scherer, Stephen, Schattevoy, Ruben, Boright, Andrew, Weber, Jacqueline, Tsui, Lap-Chee, ...

We have sequenced and annotated two genomic regions located in the Giemsa negative band q22 of human chromosome 7. The first region defined by the erythropoietin (EPO) locus is 228 kb in length and...

The Complex Repeats of Dictyostelium discoideum

Glöckner, Gernot, Szafranski, Karol, Winckler, Thomas, Dingermann, Theodor, Quail, Michael A., Cox, Edward, ...
