ExPrimer: to design primers from exon--exon junctions [PDF]
ExPrimer is a web-based computer program to design primers mainly from a specified exon-exon junction (E-E-jn) of a gene of interest. The tool suggests the optimum primer-pair(s) of which the right (reverse) primer represents a particular E-E-jn of the mRNA. The 'product length' decides the location of the left primer.

Large introns in relation to alternative splicing and gene evolution: a case study of Drosophila bruno-3 [PDF]
Background: Alternative splicing (AS) of maturing mRNA can generate structurally and functionally distinct transcripts from the same gene. Recent bioinformatic analyses of available genome databases inferred a positive correlation between intron length ...

Noncoder : a web interface for exon array-based detection of long non-coding RNAs [PDF]
Due to recent technical developments, a high number of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been discovered in mammals. Although it has been shown that lncRNAs are regulated differently among tissues and disease statuses, functions of these transcripts ...

Novel Nine-Exon AR Transcripts (Exon 1/Exon 1b/Exons 2–8) in Normal and Cancerous Breast and Prostate Cells [PDF]
Nearly 20 different transcripts of the human androgen receptor (AR) are reported with two currently listed as Refseq isoforms in the NCBI database. Isoform 1 encodes wild-type AR (type 1 AR) and isoform 2 encodes the variant AR45 (type 2 AR). Both variants contain eight exons: they share common exons 2–8 but differ in exon 1 with the canonical exon 1 ...

The abundance of mammalian long intergenic non-coding RNA (lincRNA) genes is high, yet their functions remain largely unknown. One possible way to study this important question is to use large-scale comparisons of various characteristics of lincRNA with ...

Exon Inclusion Is Dependent on Predictable Exonic Splicing Enhancers [PDF]
We have previously formulated a list of approximately 2,000 RNA octamers as putative exonic splicing enhancers (PESEs) based on a statistical comparison of human exonic and nonexonic sequences (X. H. Zhang and L. A. Chasin, Genes Dev. 18:1241-1250, 2004).

Complex exon-intron marking by histone modifications is not determined solely by nucleosome distribution [PDF]
It has recently been shown that nucleosome distribution, histone modifications and RNA polymerase II (Pol II) occupancy show preferential association with exons (“exon-intron marking”), linking chromatin structure and function to co-transcriptional ...

In Vivo Recognition of a Vertebrate Mini-Exon as an Exon-Intron-Exon Unit
Very small vertebrate exons are problematic for RNA splicing because of the proximity of their 3' and 5' splice sites. In this study, we investigated the recognition of a constitutive 7-nucleotide mini-exon from the troponin I gene that resides quite close to the adjacent upstream exon.

The CUGBP2 splicing factor regulates an ensemble of branchpoints from perimeter binding sites with implications for autoregulation [PDF]
Alternative pre-mRNA splicing adjusts the transcriptional output of the genome by generating related mRNAs from a single primary transcript, thereby expanding protein diversity.
