How comparative genomic
helps finding
selenoproteins
the dual function of UGA compounds the identification of selenoproteins
Selenoprotein search: SECIS search
SECIS search in the Drosophila genome
selenoprotein search:
codon bias
selenoprotein search: codon bias
selenoprotein search:
SECIS + codon bias
selenoprotein search in
Drosophila
(Castellano et al. EMBO Reports 2:697-702, 2001)
dSelG and dSelM are ubiquitous selenoproteins
dSelG has selenoprotein homologues in vertebrates
selenoprotein search in mammalian genomes
conserved SECIS between human and mouse
selenoprotein search in other vertebrate genomes
SelU: a novel selenoprotein
family
