An update and lessons from whole-genome sequencing projects.

Abstract:

:A number of prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes are currently being sequenced. Already, the nucleotide sequences of four yeast chromosomes and of 2.2 Mb from Caenorhabditis elegans have been reported. Human genomic sequences have also been used in comparative studies with both mouse and Fugu rubripes.

  • Responses to DNA damage and regulation of cell cycle checkpoints by the ATM protein kinase family.

    abstract::In mammalian cells, four protein kinases form the PI3-kinase-related protein kinase (PIK) superfamily. These four enzymes-FRAP, DNA-PK, ATM, and ATR-are distinguished by their large size (all are >2500 amino acids), their common primary sequence relatedness through the carboxy-terminal protein kinase domain, and their...
