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.

Transcription start site heterogeneity and its role in RNA fate determination distinguish HIV-1 from other retroviruses and are mediated by core promoter elements

TL;DR: HIV-1 uses heterogeneous transcription start sites (TSSs) to generate two RNA 5' isoforms that adopt radically different structures and perform distinct replication functions as mentioned in this paper .

The association of gene polymorphisms with milk production and mastitis resistance phenotypic traits in dairy cattle

TL;DR: In this article , the association between gene polymorphisms (SNPs) and mastitis indicators and their relationship with milk production profitability in dairy herd was evaluated. But none of the five studied SNPs were related to protein content.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis of tetrahedron DNA nanostructures for detecting the activation of cell signal transduction via their specific binding to transcriptional factors.

TL;DR: Tetrahedron DNA nanostructures which contain specific binding sequences of TFs could specifically bind to activated TFs of hypoxia signaling or TGF-β signaling and this work develops a novel and effective tool to examine the activation of intracellular signaling pathways via nanotechnology.

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.

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).
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.
