Journal ArticleDOI

Circular RNAs are a large class of animal RNAs with regulatory potency

TL;DR: It is found that a human circRNA, antisense to the cerebellar degeneration-related protein 1 transcript (CDR1as), is densely bound by microRNA (miRNA) effector complexes and harbours 63 conserved binding sites for the ancient miRNA miR-7.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of Intron Sequences Reveals Hallmarks of Circular RNA Biogenesis in Animals

TL;DR: The data support a model of animal circRNA biogenesis in which competing RNA-RNA interactions of introns form larger structures that promote circularization of embedded exons, whereas ADAR1 antagonizes circRNA expression by melting stems within these interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

RHOA-FAK Is a Required Signaling Axis for the Maintenance of KRAS-Driven Lung Adenocarcinomas

TL;DR: It is reported that FAK inhibitors exert potent antitumor effects in NSCLCs that express mutant KRAS in association with INK4A/ARF deficiency, revealing a novel genotype-specific vulnerability of cancer cells that can be exploited for therapeutic purposes.
Journal ArticleDOI

FSDA: A MATLAB toolbox for robust analysis and interactive data exploration

TL;DR: The potential of the FSDA in chemometrics using data from chemical and pharmaceutical problems, where the presence of outliers, multiple groups, deviations from normality and other complex structures is not an exceptional circumstance is shown.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global characterization of the oocyte-to-embryo transition in Caenorhabditis elegans uncovers a novel mRNA clearance mechanism

TL;DR: Analysis of transcriptome‐wide, expression of mRNAs and thousands of proteins in Caenorhabditis elegans oocytes, 1‐cell, and 2‐cell embryos represents a first comprehensive gene expression atlas during the OET in animals and suggests a mechanism in which the polyC motif and binding partners direct degradation of maternal m RNAs.
