Abstract: The present invention relates to nucleic acid probes which are derived from rRNA genes of non-virus organisms and are useful for the detection of said non-virus infectious organisms in a biological sample. In addition, the present invention relates to compositions and chips useful for the diagnosis of one or more types of infectious diseases comprising said nucleic acid probes.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method, a composition, a microarray, an antibody and a kit for diagnosis and prognosis of cancer, based on detection of deletion of the exon 3 region of G-CSF gene or levels of a mutated G-CSF protein having a deletion of an amino acid sequence corresponding to the exon 3 region, wherein the deletion of the exon 3 region of the G-CSF gene is used as a cancer biomarker.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a gene controlling the flowering time of plants, and a method for manipulating the flowering time of plants using the gene. More particularly, the present invention relates to a LOV1 gene controlling the flowering time of plants, which is isolated from Arabidopsis thaliana, and also to a method for either delaying the flowering time of plants by overexpressing the LOV1 gene in the plants, or inducing the early flowering of the plants by repressing the expression of the LOV1 gene in the plants.
