We explored transcriptional responses of the fission yeastSchizosaccharomyces pombe to
various environmental stresses. DNA microarrays were used to characterize changes in …

The safety control of large dams is based on the measurement of some important quantities
that characterize their behaviour (like absolute and relative displacements, strains and …

Histone lysine methylation is a key regulator of gene expression and heterochromatin function,
but little is known as to how this modification impinges on other chromatin activities. Here …

Cell-cycle control of transcription seems to be universal, but little is known about its global
conservation and biological significance. We report on the genome-wide transcriptional …

Sexual reproduction requires meiosis to produce haploid gametes, which in turn can fuse to
regenerate a diploid organism. We have studied the transcriptional program that drives this …

We have made a detailed phenotypic characterisation of the type strains of 21 species within
the genus Halomonas and have also studied any possible intraspecific variation of strains …

Morphogenesis and cell differentiation in multicellular organisms often require accurate
control of cell divisions. We show that a novel cell cycle regulator, tribbles, is critical for this …

Fission yeast cells identify and maintain growing regions exactly opposed at the ends of a
cylindrical cell. tea1 mutants disrupt this organization, producing bent and T-shaped cells. We …

Gene expression is regulated at multiple levels, and cells need to integrate and coordinate
different layers of control to implement the information in the genome. Post-transcriptional …

We studied exopolysaccharides (EPSs) produced by Halomonas ventosae and Halomonas
anticariensis, two novel species of halophilic bacteria. Under optimum environmental and …
