TLDR
Genome-wide analyses of metazoan transcriptomes have revealed an unexpected level of mRNA diversity that is generated by alternative splicing, which can drive determinative physiological change or have a permissive role by providing mRNA variability that is used by other regulatory mechanisms.Abstract:
Genome-wide analyses of metazoan transcriptomes have revealed an unexpected level of mRNA diversity that is generated by alternative splicing. Recently, regulatory networks have been identified through which splicing promotes dynamic remodelling of the transcriptome to promote physiological changes, which involve robust and coordinated alternative splicing transitions. The regulation of splicing in yeast, worms, flies and vertebrates affects a variety of biological processes. The functional classes of genes that are regulated by alternative splicing include both those with widespread homeostatic activities and those with cell-type-specific functions. Alternative splicing can drive determinative physiological change or can have a permissive role by providing mRNA variability that is used by other regulatory mechanisms.read more

TL;DR: High-throughput sequencing of libraries prepared from ribosome-depleted RNA with or without digestion with the RNA exonuclease showed that ecircRNAs are abundant, stable, conserved and nonrandom products of RNA splicing that could be involved in control of gene expression.

TL;DR: It is shown that hundreds of circRNAs are regulated during human epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and that the production of over one-third of abundant circ RNAs is dynamically regulated by the alternative splicing factor, Quaking (QKI), which itself is regulated during EMT.

A census of human RNA-binding proteins.
TL;DR: This work presents a census of 1,542 manually curated RBPs that are analysed for their interactions with different classes of RNA, their evolutionary conservation, their abundance and their tissue-specific expression, a critical step towards the comprehensive characterization of proteins involved in human RNA metabolism.

Sequencing depth and coverage: key considerations in genomic analyses
TL;DR: The issue of sequencing depth in the design of next-generation sequencing experiments is discussed and current guidelines and precedents on the issue of coverage are reviewed for four major study designs, including de novo genome sequencing, genome resequencing, transcriptome sequencing and genomic location analyses.

Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transitions in Development and Disease

TL;DR: The mesenchymal state is associated with the capacity of cells to migrate to distant organs and maintain stemness, allowing their subsequent differentiation into multiple cell types during development and the initiation of metastasis.

TL;DR: Insight is provided into the transcriptional regulation of stem cells and how OCT4, SOX2, and NANOG contribute to pluripotency and self-renewal and how they collaborate to form regulatory circuitry consisting of autoregulatory and feedforward loops.
