Associating cancer-related RNA structure disrupting SNPs in LincRNAs to function

BMC Genomics
Background Long intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been associated with cancers for years, yet the molecular mechanism is mostly unclear.

LncRNAs SOX2-OT and NEAT1 act as a potential biomarker for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

Discover Oncology
Despite strides in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for ESCC, patient survival rates remain relatively low. Recent studies highlight the pivotal role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in regulating diverse cellular activities in humans. Dysregulated

Quality Assessment of Domesticated Animal Genome Assemblies

Bioinformatics and Biology Insights, 2015
The era of high-throughput sequencing has made it relatively simple to sequence genomes and transcriptomes of individuals from many species. In order to analyze the resulting sequencing data, high-quality reference genome assemblies are required. However,

The lncRNA PARylator promotes PARP1 activation and resistance to DNA‑damaging therapy in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

Experimental Hematology & Oncology
Background Outcomes for patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remain poor, partly due to treatment resistance, particularly to DNA-damaging therapies.

M2 macrophage exosome-derived lncRNA AK083884 protects mice from CVB3-induced viral myocarditis through regulating PKM2/HIF-1α axis mediated metabolic reprogramming of macrophages

Redox Biology
Viral myocarditis (VM) is a clinically common inflammatory disease. Accumulating literature has indicated that M2 macrophages protect mice from Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3)-induced VM.

An evolutionarily conserved N-terminal domain of RRF-3 governs GTSF-1 binding in nematodes

EMBO Reports
GTSF1 is an essential activating cofactor for PIWI proteins in many metazoans. In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, however, GTSF-1 does not bind PIWI, but is associated with the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase RRF-3, supporting endo-siRNA (26G-RNA ...
