β¦ Synopsis
Alphavirus vectors use RNA replication in the cell cytoplasm to direct gene expression. New developments of vectors put persistency of expression and infection of specific cells in focus. Furthermore, a new application shows that the system can be used for production of retrovirus vectors carrying genes with introns and control/regulatory regions.

A means of controlling the level and timing of expression of specific genes in cultured cells or in animals would have broad applications. There has been recent progress in two very promising systems: problems due to the high background expression from tetracycline-responsive promoters have been sol
## Abstract In the era of systems biology, computational and highβthroughput experimental biological approaches are increasingly being combined to provide global snapshots of entire genomes and proteomes under tissueβ and diseaseβspecific conditions. The aim is to identify proteins changing in conc
