In order to discern sake yeast, shochu yeast, and wine yeast, a specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was investigated. PCR products between shochu yeast strains and sake yeast weredistinguished by using a primer designed with an open reading frame of FLO5. Wine yeasts and most of other yeasts were distinguished by a primer designed with an open reading frame of YHR213W.However, PCR products...

This is an online database in order to facilitate research on viroid, viroid-like RNAs and human hepatitis delta virus by presenting a large number of sequences and related data in a comprehensive and user-friendly format (e.g., position of their self-catalytic domains, open reading frame, prediction of the most stable secondary structures, etc.). This online database is available on the WWW at...

In Drosophila, the Gal4-UAS system permits a transgene to be expressed in the same pattern as a gene of interest, by placing the Gal4 transcription factor under control of the gene's DNA regulatory elements. If these regulatory elements are not known, however, expression of Gal4 in the desired pattern may be difficult or impossible. To solve this problem, we have developed a method for co-expre...

Background: In Archaea, previous studies have revealed the presence of multiple intron-containing tRNAs and split tRNAs. The full unexpurgated analysis of archaeal tRNA genes remains a challenging task in the field of bioinformatics, because of the presence of various types of hidden tRNA genes in archaea. Here, we suggested a computational method that searched for widely separ...
