- We present here a draft genome sequence of the red jungle fowl, Gallus gallus. Because the chicken is a modern descendant of the dinosaurs and the first non-mammalian amniote to have its genome sequenced, the draft sequence of its genome--composed of approximately one billion base pairs of sequence and an estimated 20,000-23,000 genes--provides a new perspective on vertebrate genome evolution, while also improving the annotation of mammalian genomes. For example, the evolutionary distance between chicken and human provides high specificity in detecting functional elements, both non-coding and coding. Notably, many conserved non-coding sequences are far from genes and cannot be assigned to defined functional classes. In coding regions the evolutionary dynamics of protein domains and orthologous groups illustrate processes that distinguish the lineages leading to birds and mammals. The distinctive properties of avian microchromosomes, together with the inferred patterns of conserved synteny, provide additional insights into vertebrate chromosome architecture.

- The fragmentation behavior of the endohedral metallofullerene La@C-82 was studied using gas phase time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The results were compared with the fragmentation of C-60. When the metallofullerene was excited by a 337 nm ns laser, small lanthanum-carbide fragments LaCn+, n=0-6, were detected. A simple statistical maximum entropy model was used to simulate the excitation energy dependence of the loss of the LaCn+ molecules as well as C-2 evaporation to form smaller metallofullerenes. By comparing experimental ion intensities with the model, the appearance energies of LaCn+, n=0-6, were found to lie above 65 eV. The lanthanum-carbide fragments ejected from La@C-82 decrease in size with increasing internal energy. The ejection of La+ and LaC2+ is preferred at the expense of larger fragments such as LaC4+ and metallofullerenes at the higher excitation. (C) 2003 American Institute of Physics.

- We report the first measurements of delayed ionization of the metallofullerene La@C-82. When highly excited in laser desorption, La@C-82 was found to ionize over several microseconds. The rate of delayed ionization of La@C-82 was compared to C-60 under the same extraction conditions, and found to be significantly different. A theoretical model was used for the fitting of the ion signal of the two fullerenes. The metallofullerene results can be fitted well over a time window

- A quantitative description of the configurational part of the total energy of metallic alloys with substantial atomic size difference cannot be achieved in the atomic-sphere approximation: It needs to be corrected at least for the multipole-moment interactions in the Madelung part of the one-electron potential and energy. In the case of a random alloy such interactions can be accounted for only by lifting the atomic-sphere and single-site approximations, in order to include the polarization due to local environment effects. Nevertheless, a simple parametrization of the screened Coulomb interactions for the ordinary single-site methods, including the generalized perturbation method, is still possible. We obtained such a parametrization for bulk and surface NiPt alloys, which allows one to obtain quantitatively accurate effective interactions in this system.
