Conservation of peripheral nervous system formation mechanisms in divergent ascidian embryos
Ascidians with very similar embryos but highly divergent genomes are thought to have undergone extensive developmental system drift. We compared, in four species (Ciona and Phallusia for Phlebobranchia, Molgula and Halocynthia for Stolidobranchia), gene ...

Developmental regulation of proenkephalin gene expression in osteoblasts. [PDF]
Proenkephalin (PENK), a classically defined opioid gene, was originally thought to be expressed almost exclusively in the mature nervous and neuroendocrine systems. In the last few years, it was demonstrated, however, that high levels of PENK messenger RNA and PENK-derived peptides are expressed in embryonic mesenchymal tissues during differentiation ...

Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ating enzymes cooperate to coordinate development
The transcriptome is subject to rapid and massive changes during the transition between developmental stages. These changes require tight control to avoid the undesired reactivation of gene expression that is only important for previous developmental ...

Our understanding of the extent of involvement of DNA methylation in genome-wide gene regulation and plant developmental control is incomplete. Here, the authors knock out all five known DNA methyltransferases and show the developmental and gene ...

mRNA Cap Methylation in Pluripotency and Differentiation
The mRNA cap recruits factors essential for transcript processing and translation initiation. We report that regulated mRNA cap methylation is a feature of embryonic stem cell (ESC) differentiation. Expression of the mRNA cap methyltransferase activating

Regulation of Trypanosoma brucei Total and Polysomal mRNA during Development within Its Mammalian Host [PDF]
The gene expression of Trypanosoma brucei has been examined extensively in the blood of mammalian hosts and in forms found in the midgut of its arthropod vector, the tsetse fly.

Optogenetic Control of Gene Expression in Drosophila. [PDF]
To study the molecular mechanism of complex biological systems, it is important to be able to artificially manipulate gene expression in desired target sites with high precision.

Post-transcriptional gene expression regulation in developmental disorders
Gene expression regulation is a set of critical biological processes that give rise to the diversity of cell types across tissues and development stages. Noncoding regions of the genome (intergenic + intronic, >98% of genome) play an important role in these processes, with noncoding genetic variation quantitatively affecting transcriptional activity,

Human aldolase C: gene transcriptional regulation and protein functional role [PDF]
Aldolase C is the brain-specific aldolase isoenzyme. In the human brain, aldolase C messenger and protein are expressed in a stripe-like pattern in the Purkinje cells of the cerebellum, in the inferior olives and in the Goll and Burdach nuclei of the ...

Differential timing of gene expression regulation between leptocephali of the two Anguilla eel species in the Sargasso Sea [PDF]
The unique life-history characteristics of North Atlantic catadromous eels have long intrigued evolutionary biologists, especially with respect to mechanisms that could explain their persistence as two ecologically very similar but reproductively and ...
