Orchestrated Intron Retention Regulates Normal Granulocyte Differentiation

TLDR
Bioinformatic analyses of transcriptomic and proteomic data of normal white blood cell differentiation reveal IR as a physiological mechanism of gene expression control and establish that IR coupled with NMD is a conserved mechanism in normal granulopoiesis.

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.

Widespread intron retention in mammals functionally tunes transcriptomes

TL;DR: It is shown that intron retention acts widely to reduce the levels of transcripts that are less or not required for the physiology of the cell or tissue type in which they are detected, and this "transcriptome tuning" function of IR acts through both nonsense-mediated mRNA decay and nuclear sequestration and turnover of IR transcripts.

Genetic Drivers of Epigenetic and Transcriptional Variation in Human Immune Cells

Lu Chen, +90 more
- 17 Nov 2016 - 
TL;DR: High-resolution genetic, epigenetic, and transcriptomic profiling in three major human immune cell types from up to 197 individuals yields insights into cell-type-specific correlation between diverse genomic inputs, more generalizable correlations between these inputs, and defines molecular events that may underpin complex disease risk.

Unveiling the complexity of the maize transcriptome by single-molecule long-read sequencing

TL;DR: The results show that characterization of the maize B73 transcriptome is far from complete, and that maize gene expression is more complex than previously thought.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quality and quantity control of gene expression by nonsense-mediated mRNA decay

TL;DR: This Review discusses how NMD serves multiple purposes in human cells by degrading both mutated mRNAs to protect the integrity of the transcriptome and normal m RNAs to control the quantities of unmutated transcripts.

Basic Local Alignment Search Tool

TL;DR: A new approach to rapid sequence comparison, basic local alignment search tool (BLAST), directly approximates alignments that optimize a measure of local similarity, the maximal segment pair (MSP) score.

Systematic and integrative analysis of large gene lists using DAVID bioinformatics resources.

TL;DR: By following this protocol, investigators are able to gain an in-depth understanding of the biological themes in lists of genes that are enriched in genome-scale studies.

A new mathematical model for relative quantification in real-time RT-PCR.

TL;DR: This study enters into the particular topics of the relative quantification in real-time RT-PCR of a target gene transcript in comparison to a reference gene transcript and presents a new mathematical model that needs no calibration curve.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transcript assembly and quantification by RNA-Seq reveals unannotated transcripts and isoform switching during cell differentiation

TL;DR: The results suggest that Cufflinks can illuminate the substantial regulatory flexibility and complexity in even this well-studied model of muscle development and that it can improve transcriptome-based genome annotation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global quantification of mammalian gene expression control

TL;DR: Using a quantitative model, the first genome-scale prediction of synthesis rates of mRNAs and proteins is obtained and it is found that the cellular abundance of proteins is predominantly controlled at the level of translation.
