A step-by-step protocol for formaldehyde-assisted isolation of regulatory elements from Arabidopsis thaliana.

The control of gene expression by transcriptional regulators and other types of functionally relevant DNA transactions such as chromatin remodeling and replication underlie a vast spectrum of biological processes in all organisms. DNA transactions …

The Selaginella genome identifies genetic changes associated with the evolution of vascular plants.

Vascular plants appeared ~410 million years ago, then diverged into several lineages of which only two survive: the euphyllophytes (ferns and seed plants) and the lycophytes. We report here the genome sequence of the lycophyte Selaginella …
