Journal ArticleDOI
Widespread occurrence of antisense transcription in the human genome
Rodrigo Yelin,Dvir Dahary,Rotem Sorek,Erez Y. Levanon,Orly Goldstein,Avi Shoshan,Alex Diber,Sharon Biton,Yael Tamir,Rami Khosravi,Sergey Nemzer,Elhanan Pinner,Shira Walach,Jeanne Bernstein,Kinneret Savitsky,Galit Rotman +15 more
TL;DR: The extent of antisense transcription in the human genome is studied by analyzing the public databases of expressed sequences using a set of computational tools designed to identify sense-antisense transcriptional units on opposite DNA strands of the same genomic locus to indicate that antisense modulation of gene expression in human cells may be a common regulatory mechanism.

TL;DR: Polypeptide sequences and polynucleotide sequences are provided in this paper, along with annotative information concerning such sequences and uses for these sequences and their sequences are annotated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving plant stress tolerance and yield production: is the tonoplast aquaporin SlTIP2;2 a key to isohydric to anisohydric conversion?
Nir Sade,Basia Judith Vinocur,Alex Diber,Arava Shatil,Gil Ronen,Hagit Nissan,Rony Wallach,Hagai Karchi,Menachem Moshelion +8 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that the regulation mechanism controlling tonoplast water permeability might have a role in determining the whole-plant ishohydric threshold, and thus its abiotic stress tolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transcription-mediated gene fusion in the human genome
Pinchas Akiva,Amir Toporik,Sarit Edelheit,Yifat Peretz,Alex Diber,Ronen Shemesh,Amit Novik,Rotem Sorek +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that at least half of these fusions exist in human tissues, and it is shown that unique splicing patterns dominate the functional and regulatory nature of the resulting transcripts, and found intergenic distance bias in fused compared with nonfused genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolism of soluble sugars in developing melon fruit: a global transcriptional view of the metabolic transition to sucrose accumulation.
Nir Dai,Shahar Cohen,Vitaly Portnoy,Galil Tzuri,Rotem Harel-Beja,Maya Pompan-Lotan,Nir Carmi,Genfa Zhang,Genfa Zhang,Alex Diber,Sarah Pollock,Hagai Karchi,Yelena Yeselson,Marina Petreikov,Shmuel Shen,Uzi Sahar,Ran Hovav,Efraim Lewinsohn,Yakov Tadmor,David Granot,Ron Ophir,Amir Sherman,Zhangjun Fei,James J. Giovannoni,Yosef Burger,Nurit Katzir,Arthur A. Schaffer +26 more
TL;DR: The results shed light on the transcriptional control of sugar metabolism in the developing sweet melon fruit, particularly the metabolic transition to sucrose accumulation, and point to a concerted metabolic transition that occurs during fruit development.
