Ten lessons from 15 years of transgenic Populus research

Ten lessons from 15 years of transgenic Populus research

The goal of this paper is to describe the diverse kinds of research and interactions with the private and public sectors we have had while creating and field-testing many different kinds of transgenic poplars (genus Populus, aspens and cottonwoods) over the last ~15 years. [We use ‘transgenic’ to refer to any trees produced using asexual gene transfer, regardless of the origin of the genes.] Ou...

Ten Years of Lessons from Imaging of the Archimedes Palimpsest

The Archimedes Palimpsest is a circa 10-century parchment manuscript that was erased early in the 13th century and overwritten with a Christian prayer book. The source of its name arises from the fact that the original texts were recognized early in the 20 century to include partial copies of seven treatises by Archimedes, the oldest extant reproductions of his writings. The manuscript was sold...

Ten years of enhancer detection: lessons from the fly.

Traditional genetic screens typically have focused on genes that affect specific phenotypes. These screens, therefore, often have failed to identify genes whose functions overlap or are limited to specific phases of development, or that are expressed in a limited number of tissues. In addition, sequence analyses of whole genomes have revealed that traditional mutant screens have assigned functi...

Lessons learned from ten years of distance learning outreach.

OBJECTIVE The study tested the efficacy of providing distance learning with real-time videoconferencing to broaden high school student knowledge of health careers. METHODS A pilot program was tried out and extended over ten years to include other schools in four different time zones and the National Library of Medicine. Survey results, site visits, and continued school participation were used...
