CoFold: thermodynamic RNA structure prediction with a kinetic twist [PDF]
Existing state-of-the-art methods that take a single RNA sequence and predict the corresponding RNA secondary-structure are thermodynamic methods. These predict the most stable RNA structure, but do not consider the process of structure formation. We have by now ample experimental and theoretical evidence, however, that sequences in vivo fold while ...

Pterostilbene Targets Hallmarks of Aging in the Gene Expression Landscape in Blood of Healthy Rats
The study characterizes transcriptomic patterns in blood of healthy rats consuming diets supplemented with polyphenols. Supplementation with pterostilbene (PTS), a dietary bioactive compound from a group of phytoestrogens, resulted in gene expression changes that are functionally linked to hallmarks of aging.

Correcting a SHAPE-directed RNA structure by a mutate-map-rescue approach [PDF]
The three-dimensional conformations of non-coding RNAs underpin their biochemical functions but have largely eluded experimental characterization. Here, we report that integrating a classic mutation/rescue strategy with high-throughput chemical mapping enables rapid RNA structure inference with unusually strong validation. We revisit a paradigmatic 16S

Patterns and regulation of ribosomal RNA transcription in
Background Borrelia burgdorferi contains one 16S and two tandem sets of 23S-5S ribosomal (r) RNA genes whose patterns of transcription and regulation are unknown but are likely to be critical for survival and persistence in its hosts. Results RT-PCR of B.

Background Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) consists of four non‐coding RNAs, the 28S, 5.8S, 18S, and 5S rRNA. Abnormal expression of rRNA has been found in multiple tumors, and the methylation of rDNA promoter may affect rRNA expression as an epigenetic regulatory ...

Conservation and loss of ribosomal RNA gene sites in diploid and polyploid
Background The genus Fragaria comprises species at ploidy levels ranging from diploid (2n = 2x = 14) to decaploid (2n = 10x = 70). Fluorescence in situ hybridization with 5S and 25S rDNA probes was performed to gather cytogenetic information that ...

Large-scale polymorphism of heterochromatic repeats in the DNA of
Background The composition of the individual eukaryote's genome and its variation within a species remain poorly defined. Even for a sequenced genome such as that of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana accession Col-0, the large arrays of ...
