Non-coding RNA: what is functional and what is junk?

TL;DR: How to determine whether any given ncRNA has a function is discussed, and it is advocated that in the absence of any such data, the appropriate null hypothesis is that the RNA in question is junk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs): new entrants to the intricacies of gene regulation

TL;DR: Decoding the crosstalk between MREs mediated by ceRNAs is critical to delineate the intricacies in gene regulation, and the authors have just begun to unravel this complexity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neighboring Gene Regulation by Antisense Long Non-Coding RNAs

TL;DR: Functional studies of antisense lncRNA-mediated regulation of neighboring gene expression are addressed, addressing how these transcripts interact with other biological molecules, nucleic acids and proteins, to regulate gene expression through chromatin remodeling at the pretranscriptional level and modulation of transcriptional and post-transcriptional processes.

Evidence of Abundant Purifying Selection in Humans for Recently Acquired Regulatory Functions

TL;DR: In this paper, a broad range of transcribed and regulatory nonconserved elements show decreased human diversity, suggesting lineage-specific purifying selection, while conserved elements lacking activity show increased human diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI

RNA-binding proteins in neurodegeneration: mechanisms in aggregate.

TL;DR: This review discusses a prominent theory supported by genetic and pathological changes in an array of neurodegenerative diseases: that neurons are particularly vulnerable to disruption of RNA-binding protein dosage and dynamics and concludes that this perspective offers the most parsimonious explanation for these mysterious diseases.

Neuropathological stageing of Alzheimer-related changes.

Heiko Braak, +1 more
TL;DR: The investigation showed that recognition of the six stages required qualitative evaluation of only a few key preparations, permitting the differentiation of six stages.

An integrated encyclopedia of DNA elements in the human genome

TL;DR: The Encyclopedia of DNA Elements project provides new insights into the organization and regulation of the authors' genes and genome, and is an expansive resource of functional annotations for biomedical research.
Journal ArticleDOI

The C. elegans heterochronic gene lin-4 encodes small RNAs with antisense complementarity to lin-14

TL;DR: Two small lin-4 transcripts of approximately 22 and 61 nt were identified in C. elegans and found to contain sequences complementary to a repeated sequence element in the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of lin-14 mRNA, suggesting that lin- 4 regulates lin- 14 translation via an antisense RNA-RNA interaction.

Genome-wide atlas of gene expression in the adult mouse brain

Ed S. Lein, +109 more
- 11 Jan 2007 - 
TL;DR: An anatomically comprehensive digital atlas containing the expression patterns of ∼20,000 genes in the adult mouse brain is described, providing an open, primary data resource for a wide variety of further studies concerning brain organization and function.
