DNA ligase LigE increases bacterial transformation with damaged extracellular DNA

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The DNA ligase LigE from the naturally competent Gram‐negative bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoaea increases transformation with cut extracellular DNA. This process is ATP‐dependent and relies on the catalytic activity of LigE; it also requires that LigE contains an intact periplasmic localisation sequence, indicating that ligE functions in the periplasm ...

Whole genome duplications and a 'function' for junk DNA? Facts and hypotheses. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND:The lack of correlation between genome size and organismal complexity is understood in terms of the massive presence of repetitive and non-coding DNA. This non-coding subgenome has long been called "junk" DNA.

Genome-wide analysis of coding DNA and amino acid variation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

open access: yes, 2008
The possible causes of variation on amino acid composition in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae were investigated genome-wide. The results indicated that: (a) the base composition of coding DNA and amino acid composition was similar among all the ...

Evidence for widespread degradation of gene control regions in hominid genomes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Although sequences containing regulatory elements located close to protein-coding genes are often only weakly conserved during evolution, comparisons of rodent genomes have implied that these sequences are subject to some selective constraints ...

The role of miR‐335‐5p in the redifferentiation of BRAF p.V600E thyroid cancers

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The BRAF p.V600E mutation promotes thyroid cancer dedifferentiation and radioiodine resistance. Using a network approach, we identified miR‐335‐5p as a key regulator of BRAF‐mutated thyroid tumors. Restoring miR‐335‐5p increased thyroid‐specific gene expression and iodine uptake in cells and organoids.

The role of highly conserved non-coding DNA sequences in vertebrate development and evolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
PhDComparisons between vertebrate genome sequences, from mammals to fishes, have revealed thousands of conserved non-coding elements (CNEs) that are associated with developmental genes.

Circular RNA expression landscapes in myelodysplastic neoplasms: Associations with mutational signatures and disease progression

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In this explorative study, the abundance of circular RNA molecules in bone marrow stem cells was found to be elevated in patients with high‐risk myelodysplastic neoplasms, and to be associated with an increased risk of progression to acute myeloid leukemia.

The Role of Long Non Coding RNAs in the Repair of DNA Double Strand Breaks [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular and Cellular Medicine, 2017
DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) are abrasions caused in both strands of the DNA duplex following exposure to both exogenous and endogenous conditions. Such abrasions have deleterious effect in cells leading to genome rearrangements and cell death.
