Selective Activation of Alternative MYC Core Promoters by Wnt-Responsive Enhancers

TL;DR: It is found that P1 and P2 can be differentially regulated across cell-types and that their selective usage is largely mediated by distal regulatory sequences, which provides new insight into how enhancers can specifically target alternative promoters.
Dissertation

Decoding the impact of promoter sequences on transcriptional dynamics in vivo

TL;DR: It is shown in this study that core promoter sequence might act as a key step to regulate gene expression, and its element composition might be adapted to particular gene context.

Analysis of genes from Saccharomyces cerevisiae HJ01 participating in aromatic alcohols biosynthesis during huangjiu fermentation

TL;DR: In this article, the Ehrlich pathway and shikimate pathway, including 31 genes, are responsible for aromatic alcohol biosynthesis in S. cerevisiae HJ01 and the mutations in the promoter region of genes GAP1HJ01, BAT2HJ1, PDC5HJ21, and PDC4HJ19 increased the promoter strength and transcriptional levels of related genes.

Redefining the PTEN promoter: identification of novel upstream transcription start regions.

TL;DR: In this paper, run-on sequencing assays identified two additional transcription start regions (TSRs) at -2053 and -1906 basepairs from the canonical start of PTEN and redefined the PTEN promoter.

RNA-Seq: a revolutionary tool for transcriptomics

TL;DR: The RNA-Seq approach to transcriptome profiling that uses deep-sequencing technologies provides a far more precise measurement of levels of transcripts and their isoforms than other methods.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid production of full-length cDNAs from rare transcripts: amplification using a single gene-specific oligonucleotide primer

TL;DR: The efficacy of this cDNA cloning strategy was demonstrated by isolating cDNA clones of mRNA from int-2, a mouse gene that expresses four different transcripts at low abundance, the longest of which is approximately 2.9 kilobases.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Role of Chromatin during Transcription

TL;DR: This Review highlights advances in the understanding of chromatin regulation and discusses how such regulation affects the binding of transcription factors as well as the initiation and elongation steps of transcription.
Journal ArticleDOI

The mechanism of eukaryotic translation initiation and principles of its regulation

TL;DR: This work has provided a solid foundation for studying the regulation of translation initiation by mechanisms that include the modulation of initiation factor activity and through sequence-specific RNA-binding proteins and microRNAs (which affect individual mRNAs).
Journal ArticleDOI

RNA Maps Reveal New RNA Classes and a Possible Function for Pervasive Transcription

TL;DR: Three potentially functional classes of RNAs have been identified, two of which are syntenically conserved and correlate with the expression state of protein-coding genes and support a highly interleaved organization of the human transcriptome.
