A system for naming ribosomal proteins is described that the authors intend to use in the
future. They urge others to adopt it. The objective is to eliminate the confusion caused by the …

Mutations that target the ubiquitous process of ribosome assembly paradoxically cause
diverse tissue-specific disorders (ribosomopathies) that are often associated with an increased …

Recent advances in molecular technology have revolutionized research on all aspects of
the biology of organisms, including ciliates, and created unprecedented opportunities for …

Background The V617F mutation, which causes the substitution of phenylalanine for valine
at position 617 of the Janus kinase (JAK) 2 gene (JAK2), is often present in patients with …

Background The question of how many marine species exist is important because it provides
a metric for how much we do and do not know about life in the oceans. We have compiled …

The LIM domain protein rbtn2 is associated with T cell acute leukemias. We demonstrate that
rbtn2 is a nuclear protein expressed in the erythroid lineage in vivo, and using homologous …

Homologous recombination in embryonal stem cells has been used to produce a fusion
oncogene, thereby mimicking chromosomal translocations that frequently result in formation of …

Arsenic precipitates have been observed in GaAs low‐temperature buffer layers (LTBLs)
used as ‘‘substrates’’ for normal molecular beam epitaxy growth. Transmission electron …

The identification of the genes associated with chromosomal translocation breakpoints has
fundamentally changed understanding of the molecular basis of hematological malignancies. …

The LIM-finger protein Lmo2, which is activated in T cell leukemias by chromosomal
translocations, is required for yolk sac erythropoiesis. Because Lmo2 null mutant mice die at …
