Interaction between non-coding RNAs, mRNAs and G-quadruplexes
G-quadruplexes are secondary helical configurations established between guanine-rich nucleic acids. The structure is seen in the promoter regions of numerous genes under certain situations.

Epigenetic transgenerational actions of vinclozolin on promoter regions of the sperm epigenome.
Previous observations have demonstrated that embryonic exposure to the endocrine disruptor vinclozolin during gonadal sex determination promotes transgenerational adult onset disease such as male infertility, kidney disease, prostate disease, immune ...

Genetic Alteration of p16INKA4A Promoter Region in Endometrial Carcinoma
Objective : This study was performed to evaluate the status of p16 tumor suppressor gene in 25 endometrial carcinomas (ECs) and to correlate the loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at p16 locus, the presence of inactivating mutations, the methylation status of the promotor, and the expression of p16 protein with clinicopathological parameters.

Genetic Dissection of the Light-InduciblecarQRSPromoter Region ofMyxococcus xanthus [PDF]
ABSTRACTInMyxococcus xanthusphotoprotective carotenoids are produced in response to illumination due to regulated expression of carotenoid biosynthesis genes at two loci. Induction of the carotenogenesis regulon is dependent on expression of thecarQRSoperon.

Promoter trapping in microalgae using the antibiotic paromomycin as selective agent [PDF]
The lack of highly active endogenous promoters to drive the expression of transgenes is one of the main drawbacks to achieving efficient transformation of many microalgal species.

Construction and characterization of a synthetic Baculovirus-inducible 39K promoter
Background Silkworm genetic engineering is widely used in gene function, silk engineering and disease-resistant engineering in most of Asia. Some of the earliest promoter elements are used to control the development of silkworm transgenic expression and ...

Disparities in allele frequencies and population differentiation for 101 disease-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms between Puerto Ricans and Non-Hispanic Whites [PDF]
BACKGROUND. Variations in gene allele frequencies can contribute to differences in the prevalence of some common complex diseases among populations. Natural selection modulates the balance in allele frequencies across populations.
