The Program of Gene Transcription for a Single Differentiating Cell Type During Sporulation in Bacillus Subtilis
Patrick Eichenberger,Masaya Fujita,Shane T. Jensen,Erin M. Conlon,David Z. Rudner,Stephanie T. Wang,Caitlin C. Ferguson,Koki Haga,Tsutomu Sato,Jun Liu,Richard Losick +10 more
TL;DR: Evidence is presented that repression and activation contribute to proper morphogenesis and the logic of the program is that of a linked series of feed-forward loops which generate successive pulses of gene transcription.
Integrating regulatory motif discovery and genome-wide expression analysis
TL;DR: M motif regressor is particularly effective in discovering expression-mediating motifs of medium to long width with multiple degenerate positions, and found all of the known cell-cycle regulation motifs from 18 expression microarrays over two cell cycles.

The forespore line of gene expression in Bacillus subtilis
Stephanie T. Wang,Barbara Setlow,Erin M. Conlon,Jessica L. Lyon,Daisuke Imamura,Tsutomu Sato,Peter Setlow,Richard Losick,Patrick Eichenberger,Patrick Eichenberger +9 more
TL;DR: An integrated overview of the entire program of sporulation gene expression is presented, which is governed by the RNA polymerase sigma factors sigma(F) andSigma(G) and the DNA-binding proteins RsfA and SpoVT and the ykoV gene product, a homolog of the non-homologous end-joining protein Ku, is shown to associate with the nucleoid during germination.

The σE Regulon and the Identification of Additional Sporulation Genes in Bacillus subtilis
Patrick Eichenberger,Shane T. Jensen,Erin M. Conlon,Christiaan van Ooij,Jessica M. Silvaggi,José Eduardo González-Pastor,Masaya Fujita,Sigal Ben-Yehuda,Patrick Stragier,Jun Liu,Richard Losick +10 more
TL;DR: The identification and characterization on a genome-wide basis of genes under the control of the developmental transcription factor sigma(E) in Bacillus subtilis set the stage for a comprehensive understanding of the contribution of a cell-specific transcription factor to development and morphogenesis.

Evidence for a Novel Late-Onset Alzheimer Disease Locus on Chromosome 19p13.2
Ellen M. Wijsman,E. Warwick Daw,Change En Yu,Change En Yu,Haydeh Payami,Ellen J. Steinbart,Ellen J. Steinbart,David Nochlin,Erin M. Conlon,Thomas D. Bird,Thomas D. Bird,Gerard D. Schellenberg,Gerard D. Schellenberg +12 more
TL;DR: Strong evidence of a second LOFAD gene on chromosome 19p13.2 is identified, which is distinct from APOE on 19q.2, and weak evidence of linkage to chromosome 10 at the same location as a previous report of linkage is obtained.
