Data is presented demonstrating U1 adapter-mediated gene silencing can result in significant ‘off-target’ silencing effects as demonstrated by the reduction of multiple mRNA species that were not intended to be targeted.Abstract:
U1 Adaptors are a recently reported novel approach for targeted reduction of mRNA transcripts. A U1 adaptor oligonucleotide comprising of a target-complimentary hybridization domain and a U1 recruitment domain, directs the U1 snRNP complex to the terminal exon of a targeted gene, subsequently inhibiting poly(A) tail addition and leading to degradation of that RNA species within the nucleus. Here, we present data demonstrating U1 adapter-mediated gene silencing can result in significant 'off-target' silencing effects as demonstrated by the reduction of multiple mRNA species that were not intended to be targeted. Our data suggest that a substantial portion of this U1 adaptor-mediated off-target mRNA reduction is the result of sequestration U1 snRNP at levels sufficient to affect splicing and processing of non-target transcripts.read more

Molecular Mechanisms of Antisense Oligonucleotides.
TL;DR: In 1987, when I became interested in the notion of antisense technology, I returned to my roots in RNA biochemistry and began work to understand how oligonucleotides behave in biological systems, and since 1989, my research has focused primarily on this topic.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the RNA components of the spliceosome likewise influence alternative splicing decisions and contribute to the establishment of global splicing programs.

Alterations in Polyadenylation and Its Implications for Endocrine Disease
TL;DR: Alterations in polyadenylation have been found to be causative of neonatal diabetes and IPEX, and to be associated with type I and II diabetes, pre-eclampsia, fragile X-associated premature ovarian insufficiency, ectopic Cushing syndrome, and many cancer diseases, including several types of endocrine tumor diseases.

Microarray analysis shows that some microRNAs downregulate large numbers of target mRNAs

TL;DR: These results suggest that metazoan miRNAs can reduce the levels of many of their target transcripts, not just the amount of protein deriving from these transcripts, and seem to downregulate a far greater number of targets than previously appreciated.

Controlling the false discovery rate in behavior genetics research
TL;DR: The False Discovery Rate (FDR) is the expected proportion of false discoveries among the discoveries, and controlling the FDR goes a long way towards controlling the increased error from multiplicity while losing less in the ability to discover real differences.

TL;DR: In all cases, off-target transcript silencing was accompanied by loss of the corresponding protein and occurred with dependence on siRNA concentration similar to that of silencing of the target transcript.
