An orchestrated intron retention program in meiosis controls timely usage of transcripts during germ cell differentiation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Global transcriptome reprogramming during sper-matogenesis ensures timely expression of factors in each phase of male germ cell differentiation. Sper-matocytes and spermatids require particularly exten-sive reprogramming of gene expression to switch from

Mobile Introns Shape the Genetic Diversity of Their Host Genes

open access: yesGenetics, 2016
Self-splicing introns populate several highly conserved protein-coding genes in fungal and plant mitochondria. In fungi, many of these introns have...

Non-coding parts of genomes as the basis of epigenetic heredity

open access: yesВавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2017
We hypothesized that the basis of epigenetic regulation of genomes in ontogenesis is the specificity of the distribution, number and composition of transposons. Transposons constitute the major part of the genomes of multicellular eukaryotes.

Historical fragmentation and stepping‐stone gene flow led to population genetic differentiation in a coastal seabird

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Understanding the forces that shape population genetic structure is fundamental both for understanding evolutionary trajectories and for conservation. Many factors can influence the geographic distribution of genetic variation, and the extent to which ...

Information Theory for Equalizing the Residue-Wise Information Amounts of the Proteins and Protein-Coding DNA

open access: yesProceedings, 2017
Information content of a polymeric macromolecule can be calculated in bits, by multiplying the number of building blocks that encompasses the entire length of the macromolecule with the Shannon’s entropy of each building block, which could be determined ...

Analysis of intron sequence features associated with transcriptional regulation in human genes. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Although some preliminary work has revealed the potential transcriptional regulatory function of the introns in eukaryotes, additional evidences are needed to support this conjecture.

The gene coding for small ribosomal subunit RNA in the basidiomycete Ustilago maydis contains a group I intron [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
The nucleotide sequence of the gene coding for small ribosomal subunit RNA in the basidiomycete Ustilago maydis was determined. It revealed the presence of a group I intron with a length of 411 nucleotides.

Mammalian Introns: When the Junk Generates Molecular Diversity

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2015
Introns represent almost half of the human genome, yet their vast majority is eliminated from eukaryotic transcripts through RNA splicing. Nevertheless, they feature key elements and functions that deserve further interest.

In vitro models of cancer‐associated fibroblast heterogeneity uncover subtype‐specific effects of CRISPR perturbations

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Development of therapies targeting cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) necessitates preclinical model systems that faithfully represent CAF–tumor biology. We established an in vitro coculture system of patient‐derived pancreatic CAFs and tumor cell lines and demonstrated its recapitulation of primary CAF–tumor biology with single‐cell transcriptomics ...
