RetroSpect, a New Method of Measuring Gene Regulatory Evolution Rates Using Co-mapping of Genomic Functional Features with Transposable Elements

TL;DR: A method for measuring evolutionary rates of gene regulation based on relative quantitation of regulatory sites located within TEs next to gene transcriptional start sites is proposed, which allows interrogating regulatory evolution for organisms with TE-rich genomes.

Enhancer sharing promotes neighborhoods of transcriptional regulation across eukaryotes

TL;DR: Cross-organismic evidence is presented suggesting that most EP pairs are compatible, largely determined by physical proximity rather than specific interactions, and that EP distance is an important layer of information in gene regulation.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae displays a stable transcription start site landscape in multiple conditions

TL;DR: This analysis supplies a set of high quality TSS annotations useful for metabolic engineering and synthetic biology approaches in the industrially relevant laboratory strain CEN.PK113-7D, and provides novel insights into yeast TSS dynamics and gene regulation.

DeePromClass: Delineator for Eukaryotic Core Promoters Employing Deep Neural Networks

TL;DR: This tool provides an insightful update on next-generation promoter prediction tools for promoter biologists and, unlike previous state-of-the-art tools, classify a chunk of 151mer sequence into a promoter along with the consensus signal type or a non-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.

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).

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.
