Figure 7. Image modified from “Eukaryotic Post-transcriptional Gene Regulation,” by OpenStax College, Biology (CC BY 3.0). Alternative splicing is not a random process. Instead, it’s typically controlled by regulatory proteins. The proteins bind to specific sites on the pre-mRNA and “tell”...
The mRNA transcript is complementary to the antisense strand and a replicate (with the exception of uracil replacing thymidine) of the sense strand (Fig. 5.4A). Table 5.1. Five types of RNA. Type of RNASummary mRNA The transcript product of a structural gene that encodes an amino acid ...
Organisms determine the transcription rates of thousands of genes through a few modes of regulation that recur across the genome1. In bacteria, the relationship between the regulatory architecture of a gene and its expression is well understood for individual model gene circuits2,3. However, a broa...
perturbations, thereby conferring robustness during speciation. This study can facilitate adoption of the pig as a biomedical model for human biology and disease and uncovers the molecular bases of valuable traits. Similar content being viewed by others Pig genome functional annotation enhances the biolog...
In summary, the large diversity in the levels of TAP transcripts observed during thePlasmodiumerythrocytic cycle is essential to understand the functional differentiation observed during the complex development of the parasite within the human and mosquito hosts. In the case of STFs such as the ApiAP...
In summary, the results of the qRT-PCR are coincident with the data obtained from RNA-Seq and support the hypothesis of the possible role ofCiclev10021357in the early and late ripening phenotypes of ARR and HER. The presence of a hemizygotic 2 Mb deletion on chromosome 3, can explain ...
Summary Quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) is rapidly becoming a basic method in lung cancer research. Analysis of transcriptional activity of tumor cells or detection of tumor markers by this technique has the potential to change lung cancer diagnosis and ...
In summary, there are several key features that distinguish prokaryotic gene expression from that seen in eukaryotes. These are illustrated in Figure 5 and listed in Table 1. Figure 5. (a) In prokaryotes, the processes of transcription and translation occur simultaneously in the cytoplasm, allowing...
Therefore, to gain insight in the biology and physiology of Ostreococcus as well as the transcriptional basis of its genome structure, we chose to conduct a genome wide temporal analysis of gene expression in cells subjected to 12:12 day/night cycles. Under these conditions genes were found to...
First, we asked about the completeness of a de novo approach on this organism. In summary, we identified a total of 1,121,543 FPs across all cell types, with ~ 70% containing at least one site used in motif generation (FPs may have more than one binding site). From these, DENIS...
