A.J. Dupuy et al., "Mammalian mutagenesis using a highly mobile somatic Sleeping Beauty transposon system," Nature, 436:221–6, July 14, 2005.

This paper describes a modification of the Sleeping Beauty fish transposon which allows it to be used for efficient mutagenesis screens in mice. The authors provide proof-of-principle for the usefulness of the transposon (which can be targeted to any tissue) by the identification of multiple cancer genes.

J. Liou et al., "STIM is a Ca2+ sensor essential for Ca2+-store-depletion-triggered Ca2+ influx," Curr Biol, 15:1235–41, July 12, 2005.

The mechanisms controlling store-operated calcium entry have been a long-standing mystery in calcium signaling. As in a study published just weeks earlier,1 these authors use an RNAi-based screen to identify STIM1 and STIM2 as being important for ...
