Embedded CRISPRi Enhances Gene‐Silencing Efficiency in Drosophila

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Current CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) technology in Drosophila has limited efficiency. This study introduces the emCRISPRi platform, which significantly enhances transcriptional silencing efficacy by embedding inhibitory domains within the dCas9 architecture.

LTRs of Endogenous Retroviruses as a Source of Tbx6 Binding Sites

open access: yesFrontiers in Chemistry, 2017
Retrotransposons are abundant in mammalian genomes and can modulate the gene expression of surrounding genes by disrupting endogenous binding sites for transcription factors (TFs) or providing novel TFs binding sites within retrotransposon sequences ...

Computational methods reveal novel functionalities of PIWI-interacting RNAs in human papillomavirus-induced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the fastest growing cause of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) today, but its role in malignant transformation remains unclear.

Natural Negative Feedback Loops Confer Indica‐Japonica Differentiation for Grain Size Homeostasis in Rice

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals the genetic and molecular mechanisms controlling grain size homeostasis through fine‐tuning OsGRX8 self‐expression by two natural negative feedback loops functioning in redox‐dependent or ‐independent manners and identifies two self‐regulatory haplotypes (SRHs) for the subspecies differentiation in rice.

Distribution and conservation of the transposable element gypsy in drosophilid species

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2007
In an attempt to understand the dynamics of transposable elements (T'S) in the genome of host species, we investigated the distribution, representativeness and conservation of DNA sequences homologous to the Drosophila melanogaster gypsy retrotransposon ...

TGFβ1 Activates Lnc‐APUE to Promote Tumor Metastasis via the Alu Element‐Driven STAU1‐Mediated Decay of CDH1 mRNA

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We delineate a TGFβ1/SMAD/lnc‐APUE/E‐cadherin axis wherein TGFβ1 signaling activates lnc‐APUE; lnc‐APUE subsequently downregulates E‐cadherin expression via Alu element‐driven STAU1‐mediated decay of CDH1 mRNA, thereby promoting tumor metastasis. Our findings reveal a novel regulatory function for lnc‐APUE within the SMD pathway, elucidate a distinct ...

Cell division promotes efficient retrotransposition in a stable L1 reporter cell line [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Background: Long interspersed element type one (L1) actively modifies the human genome by inserting new copies of itself. This process, termed retrotransposition, requires the formation of an L1 ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex, which must enter the ...

Deciphering the Evolution Pattern of Structural Variations Overlapped With Repetitive Sequence During Cattle Evolution

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The authors complement bovine pan‐SV with massive novel structural variations (SVs) identified through long‐read sequencing of 83 globally distributed cattle breeds. Repetitive sequence‐mediated SVs (rep‐SV) exhibit distinct dynamic patterns throughout cattle sub‐speciation and/or domestication processes, including uneven distribution between chr‐X and

RDA coupled with deep sequencing detects somatic SVA-retrotranspositions and mosaicism in the human brain

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
Cells of the developing human brain are affected by the progressive acquisition of genetic and epigenetic alterations that have been reported to contribute to somatic mosaicism in the adult brain and are increasingly considered a possible cause of ...

Ingrowth by photoreceptor axons induces transcription of a retrotransposon in the developing Drosophila brain [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
The development of the lamina, the first optic ganglion of the fly visual system, depends on inductive cues from the innervating photoreceptor axons. lacZ expression from a P-element insertion, A72, occurs in the anlage of the lamina coincident with axon
