RNA-based regulation: dynamics and response to perturbations of competing RNAs [PDF]
The observation that, through a titration mechanism, microRNAs (miRNAs) can act as mediators of effective interactions among their common targets (competing endogenous RNAs or ceRNAs) has brought forward the idea ('ceRNA hypothesis') that RNAs can ...

Control of RNA degradation in cell fate decision
Cell fate is shaped by a unique gene expression program, which reflects the concerted action of multilayered precise regulation. Substantial research attention has been paid to the contribution of RNA biogenesis to cell fate decisions.

The 5'-3' exoribonuclease Pacman (Xrn1) regulates expression of the heat shock protein Hsp67Bc and the microRNA miR-277-3p in Drosophila wing imaginal discs [PDF]
Pacman/Xrn1 is a highly conserved exoribonuclease known to play a critical role in gene regulatory events such as control of mRNA stability, RNA interference and regulation via miRNAs.

Identification of human mitochondrial RNA cleavage sites and candidate RNA processing factors
Background The human mitochondrial genome is transcribed as long strands of RNA containing multiple genes, which require post-transcriptional cleavage and processing to release functional gene products that play vital roles in cellular energy production.

MicroRNA in control of gene expression: An overview of nuclear functions [PDF]
The finding that small non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are able to control gene expression in a sequence specific manner has had a massive impact on biology. Recent improvements in high throughput sequencing and computational prediction methods have allowed the

The yeast nuclear gene suv3 affecting mitochondrial post-transcriptional processes encodes a putative ATP-dependent RNA helicase. [PDF]
Mitochondrial gene expression is controlled largely through the action of products of the nuclear genome. The yeast nuclear gene suv3 has been implicated in a variety of mitochondrial posttranscriptional processes and in translation and, thus, represents a key control element in nuclear-mitochondrial interactions.

Inference of RNA decay rate from transcriptional profiling highlights the regulatory programs of Alzheimer's disease. [PDF]
The abundance of mRNA is mainly determined by the rates of RNA transcription and decay. Here, we present a method for unbiased estimation of differential mRNA decay rate from RNA-sequencing data by modeling the kinetics of mRNA metabolism.

Mesenchymal stem cells are candidates for therapeutic strategies in periodontal repair due to their osteogenic potential. In this study, we identified epigenetic markers during osteogenic differentiation, taking advantage of the individual pattern of mesenchymal cells of the periodontal ligament with high (h-PDLCs) and low (l-PDLCs) osteogenic capacity.
