Deep Survey of GABAergic Interneurons: Emerging Insights From Gene-Isoform Transcriptomics. [PDF]
GABAergic interneuron diversity is a key feature in the brain that helps to create different brain activity patterns and behavioral states. Cell type classification schemes—based on anatomical, physiological and molecular features—have provided us with a

Splice Expression Variation Analysis (SEVA) for inter-tumor heterogeneity of gene isoform usage in cancer. [PDF]
Motivation Alternative splicing events (ASE) cause expression of a variable repertoire of potential protein products that are critical to carcinogenesis. Current methods to detect ASEs in tumor samples compare mean expression of gene isoforms relative to

IDP-ASE: haplotyping and quantifying allele-specific expression at the gene and gene isoform level by hybrid sequencing. [PDF]
Allele-specific expression (ASE) is a fundamental problem in studying gene regulation and diploid transcriptome profiles, with two key challenges: (i) haplotyping and (ii) estimation of ASE at the gene isoform level.

Gene isoform specificity through enhancer-associated antisense transcription. [PDF]
Enhancers and antisense RNAs play key roles in transcriptional regulation through differing mechanisms. Recent studies have demonstrated that enhancers are often associated with non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), yet the functional role of these enhancer:ncRNA ...

Oleoyl-CoA Is the Major de NovoProduct of Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase 1 Gene Isoform and Substrate for the Biosynthesis of the Harderian Gland 1-Alkyl-2,3-diacylglycerol [PDF]
1-Alkyl-2,3-diacylglycerol (ADG) is a unique neutral lipid found in the eyeball-associated Harderian gland (HG) of the mouse and acts as a lubricant to facilitate eyelid movement.

Transcription of a 5’ extended mRNA isoform directs dynamic chromatin changes and interference of a downstream promoter [PDF]
Cell differentiation programs require dynamic regulation of gene expression. During meiotic prophase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, expression of the kinetochore complex subunit Ndc80 is downregulated by a 5’ extended long undecoded NDC80 transcript ...

Long-read sequencing reveals novel isoform-specific eQTLs and regulatory mechanisms of isoform expression in human B cells [PDF]
Background Genetic variations linked to changes in gene expression are known as expression quantitative loci (eQTLs). The identification of eQTLs helps to understand the mechanisms governing gene expression. However, prior studies have primarily utilized
