We report that combining a DNA analog (2?F-ANA) with rigid RNA analogs [2?F-RNA and/or locked nucleic acid (LNA)] in siRNA duplexes can produce gene silencing agents with enhanced potency. The favored conformations of these two analogs are different, and

Value of MRI Outcomes for Preventive and Early‐Stage Trials in Spinocerebellar Ataxias 1 and 3
ABSTRACT Objective To examine the value of MRI outcomes as endpoints for preventive and early‐stage trials of two polyglutamine spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs). Methods A cohort of 100 participants (23 SCA1, 63 SCA3, median Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) score = 5, 42% preataxic, and 14 gene‐negative controls) was scanned at 3T up ...

Silencing of Developmental Genes in Hydra
Numerous developmental control genes have been isolated in a variety of organisms by either homology cloning or system-specific strategies. Functional genetic tests, however, are available for only a few model organisms and particularly are missing in a number of animals that occupy key positions for understanding the evolution of development and gene ...

Investigation of RNA-induced gene silencing in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe
PhDRNA interference (RNAi) is a gene regulating system to which can silence genes at both transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. In this thesis, a ura4-based RNAi selective assay was developed in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe ...

Epigenetic reprogramming in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) and downstream myeloid cells, mediated by H3.3 downregulation and endogenous retroelement (ERE) overexpression, contributes to the progression of multiple sclerosis (MS). ABSTRACT Background Skewed myelopoiesis in the bone marrow has been identified as a key driver of multiple ...

Effect of Non-Coding RNA on Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing of Alzheimer Disease
A large amount of hidden biological information is contained in the human genome, which is not expressed or revealed in the form of proteins; the usual end product form of gene expression.

RNA Sequencing Resolves Cryptic Pathogenic Variants in Mitochondrial Disease
ABSTRACT Objective Mitochondrial diseases are the most common inherited metabolic disorders, characterized by pronounced clinical and genetic heterogeneity that complicates molecular diagnosis. Although DNA‐based sequencing approaches have become standard in genetic testing, up to half of patients remain without a definitive diagnosis.
