Research Projects

Arabidopsis cDNA Sequence Analysis Project

The Arabidopsis cDNA Sequence Analysis Project is a joint effort between the University of Minnesota and Michigan State University, and funded by the National Science Foundation, under grants BIR 940-2380 and BIR 931-3751. This project combines both software and database development, and seeks to provide alternative views into analyzed data.

Corn cDNA Sequence Analysis

The Corn cDNA Sequence Analysis Project has been undertaken to transfer some of the sequence analysis tools developed for Arabidopsis to the cDNA sequences currently being generated for corn at the University of Arizona.

Rice cDNA Sequence Analysis

The Rice cDNA Sequence Analysis Project has been undertaken to transfer some of the sequence analysis tools developed for Arabidopsis to the cDNA sequences currently being generated for rice at the Rice Genome Research Program at STAFF Institute in Tsukuba, Japan.

The PCR In Situ

While the polymerase chain reaction provides an extremely powerful tool for the analysis of populations of cells, the PCR In Situ extends this technology to the single cell level. In part due to the newness of the technique, and in part to respond to demand for detailed information, pre-prints of articles and in-press book chapters are available here.

The Hidden Layers: A Fluid Molecular Biology Didactic Platform

Teaching a course on state of the art molecular biology is challenging as the underlying technologies advance faster than print support media can accomodate. In addition, the essential computational tools are generally ignored as the difficulty of supporting multiple platforms and capacities are virtually insurmountable. This project seeks to remove the barriers by using net-based resources [Mosaic], desktop publishing technologies, client-server computing, device-independent graphics and imaging and an array of computational tools operating on remote servers.

Staden Software Suite on-line Manual

The Staden software package provides an X-windows-based environment for sequence analysis and manipulation, which is particularly good for handling fluorescence-based DNA sequencing projects. The paper-based manual has been converted to an online document.

GCG Software Suite

While not an official manual, in the sense that it was notprepared by GCG, AGRENET's guide is an excellent resourcefor this software
