Claudin-18 gene structure, regulation, and expression is evolutionary conserved in mammals Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Claudin-18 isoform 2 (CLDN18.2) is one of the few members of the human claudin family of tight junction molecules with strict restriction to one cell lineage. The objective of the current study was to compare molecular structure and tissue distribution of this gastrocyte specific molecule in mammals. We show here that the CLDN18.2 protein sequence is highly conserved, in particular with regard to functionally relevant domains in mouse, rat, ...

Development and application of novel constructs to score C:G-to-T:A transitions and homologous recombination in Arabidopsis Institute of Tropical Medicine
We report on the development of five missense mutants and one recombination substrate of the beta-glucuronidase (GUS)-encoding gene of Escherichia coli and their use for detecting mutation and recombination events in transgenic Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) plants by reactivation of GUS activity in clonal sectors. The missense mutants were designed to find C:G-to-T:A transitions in a symmetrical sequence context and are in that respect ...
Comparative genomic analysis of six Glossina genomes, vectors of African trypanosomes Institute of Tropical Medicine University of Antwerp KU Leuven
Background: Tsetse flies (Glossina sp.) are the vectors of human and animal trypanosomiasis throughout sub-Saharan Africa. Tsetse flies are distinguished from other Diptera by unique adaptations, including lactation and the birthing of live young (obligate viviparity), a vertebrate blood-specific diet by both sexes, and obligate bacterial symbiosis. This work describes the comparative analysis of six Glossina genomes representing three ...
