Disruption of ATRX-RNA interactions uncovers roles in ATRX localization and PRC2 function
Nature Communications, 2020 ATRX is an RNA binding protein that mediates targeting of polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) to genomic sites. Here the authors identify the RNA binding region and show that the RNA binding is required for ATRX localization and for its recruitment of ...

Expression of Green Fluorescence Protein (GFP) in Zebrafish Muscle through Injection: A Gene Therapy Model [PDF]
, 2008 Expression of the target gene is important for gene therapy. Presently, localized transgenesis is used for gene therapy which can be achieved by a target gene expression. Here, we have reported the plasmid mediated gene therapy to zebrafish model.

Establishment of human iPSC-based models for the study and targeting of glioma initiating cells
Nature Communications, 2016 Glioma can originate from the transformation of neural progenitor cells into glioma initiating cells. Here, the authors demonstrate the use of induced pluripotent stem cells as a suitable model for generating neural progenitor cells, which can be ...

Positive selection underlies Faster-Z evolution of gene expression in birds. [PDF]
, 2015 The elevated rate of evolution for genes on sex chromosomes compared to autosomes (Fast-X or Fast-Z evolution) can result either from positive selection in the heterogametic sex, or from non-adaptive consequences of reduced relative effective population ...

Genetic Variation and Antioxidant Response Gene Expression in the Bronchial Airway Epithelium of Smokers at Risk for Lung Cancer [PDF]
, 2010 Prior microarray studies of smokers at high risk for lung cancer have demonstrated that heterogeneity in bronchial airway epithelial cell gene expression response to smoking can serve as an early diagnostic biomarker for lung cancer.

Temporal inhibition of chromatin looping and enhancer accessibility during neuronal remodeling
Nature Communications, 2021 Long-range looping of an enhancer to a promoter (E-P looping) is a key feature of gene activation; thus, regulation of E-P looping could serve as an effective strategy to precisely control gene expression.

The role of spatial averaging in the precision of gene expression patterns [PDF]
, 2009 During embryonic development, differentiating cells respond via gene expression to positional cues from morphogen gradients. While gene expression is often highly erratic, embryonic development is precise. We show by theory and simulations that diffusion
