Genic regions of a large salamander genome contain long introns and novel genes (2009)
Smith Jeramiah, Putta Srikrishna, Zhu Wei, Pao Gerald, Verma Inder, Hunter Tony, ...
Abstract Background The basis of genome size variation remains an outstanding question because DNA sequence data are lacking for organisms with large genomes. Sixteen BAC clones from the Mexican...

Abstract Background Thyroid hormones (TH) induce gene expression programs that orchestrate amphibian metamorphosis. In contrast to anurans, many salamanders do not undergo metamorphosis in nature....
Abstract Background Because amphibians arise from a branch of the vertebrate evolutionary tree that is juxtaposed between fishes and amniotes, they provide important comparative perspective for...

Abstract Salamanders of the genus Ambystoma are a unique model organism system because they enable natural history and biomedical research in the laboratory or field. We developed Sal-Site to...
From biomedicine to natural history research: EST resources for ambystomatid salamanders (2004)
Putta Srikrishna, Smith Jeramiah, Walker John, Rondet Mathieu, Weisrock David, Monaghan James, ...
Abstract Background Establishing genomic resources for closely related species will provide comparative insights that are crucial for understanding diversity and variability at multiple levels of...
