Journal ArticleDOI

An atlas of active enhancers across human cell types and tissues

TL;DR: It is shown that enhancers share properties with CpG-poor messenger RNA promoters but produce bidirectional, exosome-sensitive, relatively short unspliced RNAs, the generation of which is strongly related to enhancer activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

RNA Exosome Depletion Reveals Transcription Upstream of Active Human Promoters

TL;DR: It is proposed that PROMPT transcription is a common characteristic of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) transcribed genes with a possible regulatory potential and is positively correlated with gene activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay: an intricate machinery that shapes transcriptomes.

TL;DR: How NMD targets m RNAs, the types of mRNAs that are targeted, and the roles of NMD in cellular stress, differentiation and maturation processes are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

SMG6 promotes endonucleolytic cleavage of nonsense mRNA in human cells

TL;DR: It is reported that degradation of human nonsense mRNAs can be initiated by PTC-proximal endonucleolytic cleavage and suggested that endon nucleolytic Cleavage is a conserved feature in metazoan NMD.
