Introns as Gene Regulators: A Brick on the Accelerator
Frontiers in Genetics, 2019 A picture is beginning to emerge from a variety of organisms that for a subset of genes, the most important sequences that regulate expression are situated not in the promoter but rather are located within introns in the first kilobase of transcribed ...

Mitochondrial genomes and phylogenomic analysis of Ulva lactuca Linnaeus (Ulvophyceae, Chlorophyta)
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020 Two mitogenomes of Ulva lactuca Linnaeus, one from Florida, USA and another nearly complete mtDNA from Chile, had previously been sequenced. Here, the complete mitogenome of U. lactuca from Shantou, China was sequenced and compared with them.

The role of transposable elements in the evolution of non-mammalian vertebrates and invertebrates [PDF]
Genome Biology 2010, 11:R59, 2010 Background: Transposable elements (TEs) have played an important role in the diversification and enrichment of mammalian transcriptomes through various mechanisms such as exonization and intronization (the birth of new exons/introns from previously intronic/exonic sequences, respectively), and insertion into first and last exons.

Exons, introns and DNA thermodynamics [PDF]
Phys. Rev. Lett. 94, 178101 (2005), 2004 The genes of eukaryotes are characterized by protein coding fragments, the exons, interrupted by introns, i.e. stretches of DNA which do not carry any useful information for the protein synthesis. We have analyzed the melting behavior of randomly selected human cDNA sequences obtained from the genomic DNA by removing all introns. A clear correspondence

Identification of a dinucleotide signature that discriminates coding from non-coding long RNAs
Frontiers in Genetics, 2014 To date, the main criterion by which long ncRNAs (lncRNAs) are discriminated from mRNAs is based on the capacity of the transcripts to encode a protein. However, it becomes important to identify non-ORF-based sequence characteristics that can be used to ...

Biology, 2016 Group I self-splicing intron constitutes an important class of functional RNA molecules that can promote chemical transformation. Although the fundamental mechanism of the auto-excision from its precursor RNA has been established, convenient assay ...

Animals, 2023 Opisthorchiasis and clonorchiasis are prevalent in Southeast and Far-East Asia, which are caused by the group 1 carcinogenic liver flukes Opisthorchis viverrini sensu lato and Clonorchis sinensis infection. There have been comprehensive investigations of

Inhomogeneous DNA: conducting exons and insulating introns [PDF]
Phys. Rev. B 80 (2009) 085420, 2009 Parts of DNA sequences known as exons and introns play very different role in coding and storage of genetic information. Here we show that their conducting properties are also very different. Taking into account long-range correlations among four basic nucleotides that form double-stranded DNA sequence, we calculate electron localization length for ...

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2019 Background Rare variants (RV) in immunoglobulin mu‐binding protein 2 (IGHMBP2) [OMIM 600502] can cause an autosomal recessive type of Charcot‐Marie‐Tooth (CMT) disease [OMIM 616155], an inherited peripheral neuropathy.
