A review of Bamboos at TBGRI by K. C. Koshy

This book tells the story of the establishment of a bambusetum at the Tropical Botanic Garden and Research Institute in the state of Kerala in southern India. Started in 1987 by the author,it could be held up as a model of thoroughness in building up a living bamboo collection. Scrupulous care was taken to document all     

Thoughts of a travelling ecologist,7 In memoriam Tibor Jermy

正My former colleague,Tibor Jermy,Hungarian entomologist,died recently,at the age of 97.He was the Director at the Plant Protection Institute in Hungary when I started my research career-many years ago-as a young scientist.That same year,having reached retirement age,he gladly resigned from the directorship and returned to the workbench,to continue a productive research career for another ca.30 years,before he had to give up work in the laboratory,due to his decli-     

Molecular properties of the Epstein-Barr virus BFRF3 gene

We report the results of cloning,expression,subcellular localization analysis,and molecular properties of the Epstein-Barr virus （EBV） BFRF3 gene,using several bioinformatics tools.Bioinformatics analysis indicated that the encoding protein of EBV BFRF3 gene （designated BFRF3） has a conserved Herpes_capsid domain,which was found to be closely related to the gammaherpesvirus capsid protein family,and is highly conserved among its counterparts.     

Systems Biology Brings Life Sciences Closer——Report on the China-UK Systems Biology Workshop 2005

The China-UK Systems held during June 20-21 Biology Workshop 2005 was in the National Science Park of Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China. It was organized by the Institute of Bioinformatics, Zhejiang University, and was initiated by Prof. Dr. Jun Zhu （Zhejiang University） and Prof. Dr. John Findlay （University of Leeds, UK）. The workshop was part of the program called UK-China Partners in Science, a one-year campaign that was initiated by the British government to explore more collaborations between UK and China on science and technology. It was attended also by a representative of this program, Mr. Frank Yuan, senior science ＆ innovation officer. The idea of the workshop was to bring together experts with specialists in systems biology in order to promote the ＂natural partnership＂ between scientists from the two countries. The most important items of systcms biology considered at the workshop were： （1） New technologies and advances in systems biology; （2） Research developments in genomics and proteomics; （3） New methodologies and software in computational biology; （4） Research collaboration on systems biology between China and UK.

MicroRNAs in Common Human Diseases

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of short non-coding RNA molecules that have attracted tremendous attention from the biological and biomedical research communities over the past decade. With over 1900 miRNAs discovered in humans to date, many of them have already been implicated in common human disorders. Facilitated by high-throughput genomics and bioinformatics in conjunction with traditional molecular biology techniques and animal models, miRNA research is now positioned to make the transition from laboratories to clinics to deliver profound benefits to public health. Herein, we overview the progress of miRNA research related to human diseases, as well as the potential for miRNA to becoming the next generation of diagnostics and therapeutics.
