The association between DNA methylation and exon expression in the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
DNA methylation is one of the most important epigenetic modifications of eukaryotic genomes and is believed to play integral roles in diverse biological processes.

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Approaches to Evaluate Whole Exome Sequencing Data That Incorporate Genetic Intolerance Scores for Congenital Anomalies, Including Intronic Regions Adjacent to Exons

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine
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.

Rodent-specific alternative exons are more frequent in rapidly evolving genes and in paralogs

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009
Background Alternative splicing is an important mechanism for generating functional and evolutionary diversity of proteins in eukaryotes. Here, we studied the frequency and functionality of recently gained, rodent-specific alternative exons.

An epithelial GPR35 isoform supports tumor‐associated transcriptional and metabolic phenotypes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
GPR35 generates two functionally distinct isoforms with previously unresolved roles. GPR35‐short mediates immune‐cell chemotaxis, while GPR35‐long is enriched in colorectal cancer epithelium, where it supports increased metabolism, proliferation, and tumor‐associated transcriptional programs.

Microsatellite Content in 397 Nuclear Exons and Their Flanking Regions in the Fern Family Ophioglossaceae

Plants
Microsatellites or SSRs are small tandem repeats that are 1–6 bp long. They are usually highly polymorphic and form important portions of genomes. They have been extensively analyzed in humans, animals and model plants; however, information from non ...

Differentiated evolutionary rates in alternative exons and the implications for splicing regulation

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2006
Background Alternatively spliced exons play an important role in the diversification of gene function in most metazoans and are highly regulated by conserved motifs in exons and introns.

The identification of switch-like alternative splicing exons among multiple samples with RNA-Seq data. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Alternative splicing is an ubiquitous phenomenon in most human genes and has important functions. The switch-like exon is the type of exon that has a high level of usage in some tissues, but has a low level of usage in the other tissues.

Keratin 19 as a prognostic marker and contributing factor of metastasis and chemoresistance in high‐grade serous ovarian cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Keratin 19 (KRT19) is overexpressed in high‐grade serous ovarian cancer with high levels of Kallikrein‐related peptidases (KLK) 4–7 and is associated with poor survival. In vivo analyses demonstrate that elevated KRT19 increases peritoneal tumour burden.

KDM7A and KDM1A inhibition suppresses tumour promoting pathways in prostate cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Treatment resistance is a major challenge for patients with advanced prostate cancer. This study examined an alternative approach to target the major prostate cancer‐promoting pathway by targeting epigenetic factors, whose levels are higher in tumours.
