Journal ArticleDOI

Systematic identification of abundant A-to-I editing sites in the human transcriptome

TL;DR: A computational search for ADAR editing sites in the human transcriptome is described, using millions of available expressed sequences and indicates the role of editing in controlling dsRNA stability.
Journal ArticleDOI

PARP is important for genomic stability but dispensable in apoptosis

TL;DR: Although PARP is specifically cleaved during apoptosis, cells lacking this molecule apoptosed normally in response to treatment with anti-Fas, tumor neurosis factor alpha, gamma-irradiation, and dexamethasone, indicating thatPARP is dispensable in apoptosis and that PARP-/- thymocytes are not hypersensitive to ionizing radiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

A conserved double-stranded RNA-binding domain.

TL;DR: On the basis of the binding studies and computer analysis, a consensus sequence is derived that defines a 65- to 68-amino acid dsRNA-binding domain, the minimal region that binds ds RNA.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Caenorhabditis elegans cohesion protein with functions in meiotic chromosome pairing and disjunction

TL;DR: The depletion of C. elegans W02A2.6p (called REC-8) by RNAi, induced univalent formation and splitting of chromosomes into sister chromatids at diakinesis, and the occurrence of DSBs in REC- 8-depleted meiocytes suggests that DSB formation does not depend on homologous synapsis.
