Creation of functional viruses from non-functional cDNA clones obtained from an RNA virus population by the use of ancestral reconstruction [PDF]
RNA viruses have the highest known mutation rates. Consequently it is likely that a high proportion of individual RNA virus genomes, isolated from an infected host, will contain lethal mutations and be non-functional. This is problematic if the aim is to

ScanFold: an approach for genome-wide discovery of local RNA structural elements—applications to Zika virus and HIV [PDF]
In addition to encoding RNA primary structures, genomes also encode RNA secondary and tertiary structures that play roles in gene regulation and, in the case of RNA viruses, genome replication.

Expanding the repertoire of human tandem repeat RNA-binding proteins.
Protein regions consisting of arrays of tandem repeats are known to bind other molecular partners, including nucleic acid molecules. Although the interactions between repeat proteins and DNA are already widely explored, studies characterising tandem ...

Spatial transcriptomics of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans using RNA tomography
Summary: RNA tomography or tomo-seq combines mRNA sequencing and cryo-sectioning to spatially resolve gene expression. We have adapted this method for the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans to generate anteroposterior gene expression maps at near-cellular ...

Comprehensive sequence-to-function mapping of cofactor-dependent RNA catalysis in the glmS ribozyme. [PDF]
Massively parallel, quantitative measurements of biomolecular activity across sequence space can greatly expand our understanding of RNA sequence-function relationships. We report the development of an RNA-array assay to perform such measurements and its

Annotating Protein Functional Residues by Coupling High-Throughput Fitness Profile and Homologous-Structure Analysis. [PDF]
Identification and annotation of functional residues are fundamental questions in protein sequence analysis. Sequence and structure conservation provides valuable information to tackle these questions.

The First Complete Genome Sequence of a Novel Tetrastichus brontispae RNA Virus-1 (TbRV-1)
The complete sequence of a novel RNA virus isolated from Tetrastichus brontispae (TbRV-1) was determined to be 12,239 nucleotides in length with five non-overlapping, linearly arranged coding sequences (CDS), potentially encoding nucleoproteins ...

An Rna Sequencing Analysis of Glaucoma Genesis in Mice
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in people over the age of 60, accounting for 6.6 to 8% of all blindness in 2010, but there is still much to be learned about the genetic origins of the eye disease. With the modern development of Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies, scientists are starting to learn more about the genetic
