We show that although the currently available isochore mapping methods agree on the isochore classification of about two-thirds of the human DNA, they produce significantly different results with regard to the location of isochore boundaries and isochore length distribution. We present a new consensus isochore assignment method based on majority voting and provide IsoBase, a comprehensive on-line database of isochore maps for all completely sequenced vertebrate genomes.

    We studied breeding methods using Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model yeast with improved nitrogen accumulation ability. By DNA microarray analysis under various nitrogen concentrations with two nitrogen sources (peptone and L-asparagine), we obtained 295 commonly overexpressed (over 2-fold) genes a...
