The RNA Polymerase II Core Promoter in Drosophila

TL;DR: The properties of the RNA polymerase II core promoter in Drosophila indicate that the core promoter is a central component of the transcriptional apparatus that regulates gene expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

DNA structural features of eukaryotic TATA-containing and TATA-less promoters.

TL;DR: Characteristic differences in promoter sequences and associated structural properties of the two categories of genes in six different eukaryotes are reported, revealing that while the two classes of gene promoters are distinctly different from each other, the properties are also distinguishable across the six organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adeno-Associated Virus Serotype-Specific Inverted Terminal Repeat Sequence Role in Vector Transgene Expression

TL;DR: The collective results demonstrate that the serotype ITR sequence may have multiple levels of influences on transgene expression cassettes independent of promoter selection.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.

Interferons Induce Expression of SAMHD1 in Monocytes through Down-regulation of miR-181a and miR-30a.

TL;DR: It is suggested that SAMHD1 is a non-classical interferon-stimulated gene regulated through cell type-dependent down-regulation of miR-181a andMiR-30a in innate sentinel cells.

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.
