Detection technologies for RNA modifications
AbstractTo date, more than 170 chemical modifications have been characterized in RNA, providing a new layer of gene expression regulation termed the ‘epitranscriptome’. RNA modification detection methods and tools advance the functional studies of the epitranscriptome.

Genesis of ancestral haplotypes: RNA modifications and reverse transcription–mediated polymorphisms [PDF]
Understanding the genesis of the block haplotype structure of the genome is a major challenge. With the completion of the sequencing of the Human Genome and the initiation of the HapMap project the concept that the chromosomes of the mammalian genome are

Positioning Europe for the EPITRANSCRIPTOMICS challenge [PDF]
The genetic alphabet consists of the four letters: C, A, G, and T in DNA and C,A,G, and U in RNA. Triplets of these four letters jointly encode 20 different amino acids out of which proteins of all organisms are built.

The impact of RNA modifications on the biology of DNA virus infection
Approximately 170 RNA modifications have been identified and these are critical for determining the fate and function of cellular RNAs. Similar to human transcripts, viral RNAs possess an extensive RNA modification landscape.

Cfp1 is required for gene expression dependent H3K4me3 and H3K9 acetylation in embryonic stem cells [PDF]
BackgroundTrimethylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3) accumulates at promoters in a gene activity dependent manner. The Set1 complex is responsible for most H3K4me3 in somatic cells and contains the conserved subunit Cfp1, which is implicated in ...
