Past, present, and future strategies for detecting and quantifying circular RNA variants
Originally considered artifact of RNA splicing, over 3 million circular RNAs have been found in humans alone through a combination of ultrasensitive detection methods and bespoke bioinformatics tools. This review covers past, present, and future strategies for detecting and quantifying circular RNAs and how they are illuminating novel circular RNA ...

Depletion of nuclear poly(A) binding protein PABPN1 produces a compensatory response by cytoplasmic PABP4 and PABP5 in cultured human cells. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: In vertebrates, poly(A) binding protein (PABP) is known to exist in five different isoforms. PABPs are primarily cytosolic with the exception of the nuclear PABP (PABPN1), which is located in the nucleus.

ELAV links paused Pol II to alternative polyadenylation in the Drosophila nervious system
Alternative polyadenylation (APA) has been implicated in a variety of developmental and disease processes. A particularly dramatic form of APA occurs in the developing nervous system of flies and mammals, whereby various developmental genes undergo ...

Molecular dissection of mRNA poly(A) tail length control in yeast [PDF]
In eukaryotic cells, newly synthesized mRNAs acquire a poly(A) tail that plays several fundamental roles in export, translation and mRNA decay. In mammals, PABPN1 controls the processivity of polyadenylation and the length of poly(A) tails during de novo

Alternative Splicing Regulation in Metabolic Disorders
ABSTRACT Alternative splicing (AS) is a fundamental mechanism for enhancing transcriptome diversity and regulating gene expression, crucial for various cellular processes and the development of complex traits. This review examines the role of AS in metabolic disorders, including obesity, weight loss, dyslipidemias, and metabolic syndrome.

CRISPR/Cas9-Induced Mutagenesis Corroborates the Role of Transportin-SR2 in HIV-1 Nuclear Import
To infect nondividing cells, HIV-1 needs to cross the nuclear membrane. The importin transportin-SR2 (TRN-SR2 or transportin-3) has been proposed to mediate HIV-1 nuclear import, but the detailed mechanism remains unresolved.

Summary Schizonepeta tenuifolia Briq. (S. tenuifolia) is a traditional Chinese medicinal plant widely used to treat colds, fever and respiratory diseases. Volatile oils including the monoterpenoids limonene, pulegone and menthone are major constituents of S. tenuifolia that determine its medicinal value and consumer popularity.

Exploring the untapped potential of single‐cell and spatial omics in plant biology
Summary Advances in single‐cell and spatial omics technologies have revolutionised biology by revealing the diverse molecular states of individual cells and their spatial organization within tissues. The field of plant biology has widely adopted single‐cell transcriptome and chromatin accessibility profiling and spatial transcriptomics, which extend ...
