Microarrays, deep sequencing and the true measure of the transcriptome

John H Malone, Brian Oliver BMC Biology 2011, 9:34 (31 May 2011)

Global measures of gene expression can now be extracted either from microarrays or from RNA-seq, which do not always seem to give the same answer. Malone and Oliver review the advantages and limitations of each and conclude that, with some important exceptions, they tell the same story.

Promoter architecture and the evolvability of gene expression

Itay Tirosh, Naama Barkai, Kevin J Verstrepen Journal of Biology 2009, 8:95 (14 December 2009)

Major evolutionary change depends on changes in gene expression. Itay Tirosh and colleagues review recent research on the influence of promoter architecture and mutations in regulatory proteins on divergent expression patterns and suggest what is required for evolvability.

The genomic 'inner fish' and a regulatory enigma in the vertebrates

John Malone, Brian Oliver Journal of Biology 2009, 8:32 (16 April 2009)

Brian Oliver and John Malone invoke our 'inner fish' in their commentary on new research in Journal of Biology which shows high conservation of tissue-specific gene expression from fish to human but without corresponding conservation in the gene regulatory sequences.
