Systematic revelation and meditation on the significance of long exons using representative eukaryotic genomes. [PDF]
Background Long exons/introns are not evenly distributed in the genome, but the biological significance of this phenomenon remains elusive. Materials and methods Exon properties were analyzed in seven well-annotated reference genomes, including human and

Evolutionarily Developed Alternatively Spliced Exons Containing Translation Initiation Sites. [PDF]
Alternative splicing is essential for the generation of various protein isoforms that are involved in cell differentiation and tissue development. In addition to internal coding exons, alternative splicing affects the exons with translation initiation ...

Approaches to Evaluate Whole Exome Sequencing Data That Incorporate Genetic Intolerance Scores for Congenital Anomalies, Including Intronic Regions Adjacent to Exons. [PDF]
Background Whole exome sequencing (WES) aids in diagnosing monogenic diseases, yet > 50% of all cases remain undiagnosed. We aimed to improve diagnostic precision by developing an effective WES‐based strategy for detecting congenital anomalies.

Investigating the Genetic Sequence of Exons and Exon-intron Junction Sequences of CFTR Gene by PCR Method in Families Suspected of Cystic Fibrosis in Khuzestan Province [PDF]
Background: Cystic fibrosis is one of the most fatal multisystem disorders and the most common autosomal recessive disease in the white population, which occurs due to mutations in cystic fibrosis membrane regulatory proteins (CFTR).

Reversing T Cell Exhaustion by Converting Membrane PD-1 to Its Soluble form in Jurkat Cells; Applying The CRISPR/Cas9 Exon Skipping Strategy [PDF]
Objective: T-cells express two functional forms of the programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1): membrane (mPD-1) andsoluble (sPD-1). The binding of mPD-1 and its ligand (PD-L1) on tumor cells could lead activated lymphocytes towardexhaustion.

Duchenne's/Becker's muscular dystrophy: Analysis of genotype-feno-type correlation in 28 patients [PDF]
Duchenne's and Becker's muscular dystrophy (DMD & BMD) is a X linked disease caused by mutations in the dystrophic gene. DMD is the malign form of the disease, which significantly shortens the lifetime of the patient, while BMD has late onset with ...
