Boraginales (the forget-me-not order) is a core group within the lamiids clade. However, until now, no genome from Boraginales has been reported, and published transcriptomes are also rare. Here, we report the first Boraginales species de novo genome (i.e. Echium
Tumour biology : the journal of the International Society for Oncodevelopmental Biology and Medicine, 37(10), 13649-13657 (2016-07-31)
Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) is the most frequently mutated gene in clear cell renal carcinoma. Here, we identified a novel translational variant of VHL, termed VHLα, initiated from an alternative translational start site upstream and in frame with the ATG start
Alkannin, which is found in Alkanna tinctoria, a member of the borage family, is used as a food coloring. Alkannin has recently been reported to have certain biological functions, such as anti-microbial and anti-oxidant effects. It is known that CC
As important secondary plant metabolites, naphthoquinones exhibit a wide range of biological activities. However, their potential as sustainable alternatives to synthetic acaricides has not been studied. This study for the first time investigates the acaricidal activity of naphthoquinones against Psoroptes
The reference human genome sequence set the stage for studies of genetic variation and its association with human disease, but epigenomic studies lack a similar reference. To address this need, the NIH Roadmap Epigenomics Consortium generated the largest collection so
