Enhanced Intracellular Stability and Translation Efficiency of mRNA Drugs by a 2‐arm mRNA Platform
Advanced Science, EarlyView.We constructed a 2‐arm mRNA, characterized by a unique topology formed through the dimerization of two mRNA 3’ tails. The 2‐arm mRNA improves 3’ tail stability and resistance to nuclease degradation, resulting in an intracellular half‐life of up to 65 h. This method substantially enhances the translation capacity of mRNA drugs.

A long and complex enhancer activates transcription of the gene coding for the highly abundant immediate early mRNA in murine cytomegalovirus [PDF]
, 1985 Using the simian virus 40 "enhancer trap" approach, we have identified a transcription enhancer located just upstream of the major immediate early gene of murine cytomegalovirus. This enhancer has several striking properties.

Genetics and Genomics in Sickle Cell Disease in Africa. [PDF]
Am J HematolABSTRACT Advanced genomic technologies are revolutionizing our ability to understand complex diseases. Large‐scale population studies are needed to realize the potential of using individual genetic information to personalize treatments for better patient outcomes for chronic non‐communicable diseases, such as sickle cell disease (SCD).

Identification and characterization of novel factors that act in the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay pathway in nematodes, flies and mammals [PDF]
, 2014 Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a surveillance mechanism that degrades mRNAs harboring premature termination codons (PTCs). We have conducted a genome-wide RNAi screen in Caenorhabditis elegans that resulted in the identification of five novel NMD ...

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Carpenter syndrome type 2 (CRPT2) is a rare autosomal recessive disease mainly characterized by craniosynostosis and polysyndactyly. CRPT2 is the rarer subtype of Carpenter syndrome (CRPTS) and is caused by biallelic variants in the multiple epidermal growth factor‐like domains 8 gene (MEGF8).

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Background The molecular mechanisms underlying adaptation to physical exertion and racing stress in horses remain incompletely understood. Peripheral blood transcriptomics offers a minimally invasive method to monitor systemic responses to exercise and identify biomarkers of adaptation or overload. Objectives To evaluate transcriptomic changes

The Globin Gene Family in Arthropods: Evolution and Functional Diversity
Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 Globins are small heme-proteins that reversibly bind oxygen. Their most prominent roles in vertebrates are the transport and storage of O2 for oxidative energy metabolism, but recent research has suggested alternative, non-respiratory globin functions ...

Regulation of Gγ-globin gene by ATF2 and its associated proteins through the cAMP-response element. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The upstream Gγ-globin cAMP-response element (G-CRE) plays an important role in regulating Gγ-globin expression through binding of ATF2 and its DNA-binding partners defined in this study.
