Revamp a model-status and prospects of the Dictyostelium genome project.

Abstract:

:International efforts are underway that aim at determining the complete genome sequence of the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum. As strategy, a whole chromosome shotgun (WCS) approach was chosen and each of the six Dictyostelium chromosomes was assigned to project partners. The project is well advanced, chromosome 2 was recently published, and it is expected that the sequences of chromosomes 1 and 6 and a gene catalogue for the complete genome will be available at the end of this year. The genome sequence, together with powerful molecular genetic tools, will undoubtedly further accelerate Dictyostelium research into a number of fundamental biological processes that are common to a wide range of eukaryotes. Furthermore, it will constitute the basis for genome-wide functional analyses. The integration of results from these studies should ultimately lead to a better understanding of the complex networks that govern cellular behavior and development.

  • Checkpoint functions of RecQ helicases at perturbed DNA replication fork.

    abstract::DNA replication checkpoint is a cell signaling pathway that is activated in response to perturbed replication. Although it is crucial for maintaining genomic integrity and cell survival, the exact mechanism of the checkpoint signaling remains to be understood. Emerging evidence has shown that RecQ helicases, a large f...
