Transcriptional gene silencing in humans [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2016 It has been over a decade since the first observation that small non-coding RNAs can functionally modulate epigenetic states in human cells to achieve functional transcriptional gene silencing (TGS). TGS is mechanistically distinct from the RNA interference (RNAi) gene-silencing pathway.

A Novel Epigenetic Silencing Pathway Involving the Highly Conserved 5'-3' Exoribonuclease Dhp1/Rat1/Xrn2 in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2016 Epigenetic gene silencing plays a critical role in regulating gene expression and contributes to organismal development and cell fate acquisition in eukaryotes.

Plants, 2022 The commercialization of transgenic herbicide-resistant (HR) crops may cause gene flow risk. If a transgene in progenies of transgenic crops and wild relatives is silencing, these progenies should be killed by the target herbicide, thus, the gene flow ...

Epigenetic Chromatin Silencing: Bistability and Front Propagation [PDF]
, 2007 The role of post-translational modification of histones in eukaryotic gene regulation is well recognized. Epigenetic silencing of genes via heritable chromatin modifications plays a major role in cell fate specification in higher organisms. We formulate a coarse-grained model of chromatin silencing in yeast and study the conditions under which the ...

Cell phenotypic transition proceeds through concerted reorganization of gene regulatory network [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Phenotype transition takes place in many biological processes such as differentiation, and understanding how a cell reprograms its global gene expression profile is a problem of rate theories. A cell phenotype transition accompanies with switching of expression rates of clusters of genes, analogous to domain flipping in an Ising system.

Simultaneous gene expression and multi-gene silencing in Zea mays using maize dwarf mosaic virus
BMC Plant Biology, 2021 Background Maize dwarf mosaic virus (MDMV), a member of the genus Potyvirus, infects maize and is non-persistently transmitted by aphids. Several plant viruses have been developed as tools for gene expression and gene silencing in plants. The capacity of

Multiprotein DNA looping [PDF]
Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 238103 (2006), 2006 DNA looping plays a fundamental role in a wide variety of biological processes, providing the backbone for long range interactions on DNA. Here we develop the first model for DNA looping by an arbitrarily large number of proteins and solve it analytically in the case of identical binding.

Locus-specific ribosomal RNA gene silencing in nucleolar dominance. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 The silencing of one parental set of rRNA genes in a genetic hybrid is an epigenetic phenomenon known as nucleolar dominance. We showed previously that silencing is restricted to the nucleolus organizer regions (NORs), the loci where rRNA genes are ...

Nickel and Epigenetic Gene Silencing [PDF]
Genes, 2013 Insoluble nickel compounds are well-established human carcinogens. Occupational exposure to these compounds leads to increased incidence of lung and nasal cancer in nickel refinery workers. Apart from its weak mutagenic activity and hypoxia mimicking effect there is mounting experimental evidence indicating that epigenetic alteration plays an important

Virus‐induced gene silencing database for phenomics and functional genomics in Nicotiana benthamiana
Plant Direct, 2018 Virus‐induced gene silencing (VIGS) is an important forward and reverse genetics method for the study of gene function in many plant species, especially Nicotiana benthamiana.
