While intron retention (IR) is considered a widely conserved and distinct mechanism of gene expression control, its regulation is poorly understood. Here we show that DNA methylation directly ...
This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract RNA is commonly believed to undergo a number of sequential folding steps before reaching its functional fold, i.e., the global minimum in the ...
During RNA maturation, the group I intron promotes two sequential phosphorotransfer reactions resulting in exon ligation and intron release. Here, we report the crystal structure of the intron in ...
PCR amplification was performed in a total volume of 10 μl, containing 1 μl cDNA, 1 μl 10 × ExTaq buffer (Takara Bio, Inc., Shiga, Japan), 0.25 U ExTaq polymerase (Takara Bio, Inc.), 500 nM each ...
Researchers at University of Tsukuba have decoded the nuclear genome of Amorphochlora amoebiformis, a unicellular marine alga ...
One of the most long-standing, fundamental mysteries of biology surrounds the poorly understood origins of introns. Introns are segments of noncoding DNA that must be removed from the genetic code ...
An international research team led by Hiroki Shibuya at RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research (BDR) in Japan has solved a genetic mystery and revealed a previously unknown way that DNA can ...
