Viroid-induced DNA methylation in plants
Biomolecular Concepts, 2013 In eukaryotes, DNA methylation refers to the addition of a methyl group to the fifth atom in the six-atom ring of cytosine residues. At least in plants, DNA regions that become de novo methylated can be defined by homologous RNA molecules in a process ...

Transcriptome-Wide Discovery of PASRs (Promoter-Associated Small RNAs) and TASRs (Terminus-Associated Small RNAs) in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Hints from animals point to the existence of two novel small RNA (sRNA) species surrounding the transcription start sites (TSSs) and the termini of the genes, respectively. In this study, we performed a comprehensive search for the two sRNA species named

Toxins, 2022 Small RNAs (sRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) are small endogenous noncoding single-stranded RNAs that regulate gene expression in eukaryotes. Experiments in mice and humans have revealed that a typical small RNA can affect the expression of a wide range of ...

Genes & Nutrition, 2017 When a novel nutritional concept comes along, scientists become enthusiastic and start new explorations. In 2012, the field was enthralled with a study suggesting plant-based nucleic acid “information” acts as a bioactive to regulate animal metabolism.

Small Nucleolar RNAs: Identification, Structure, and Function
, 2006 The revelation in the last few years of a large number of new noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) has revolutionized our view of how gene regulation works. This is to a large extent due to the recent advances in computational as well as experimental methodology ...

Biomolecular Concepts, 2011 Small RNAs have been shown to regulate gene transcription by interacting with the promoter region and modifying the histone code. The exact mechanism of function is still unclear but the feasibility to activate or repress endogenous gene expression with ...

Small regulatory RNAs in bacteria
, 2006 In recent years, small regulatory RNAs have been discovered at a staggering rate both in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. By now it is clear that post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression mediated by such RNAs is the rule rather than—as previously ...

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most fatal infectious diseases, caused by the aerobic bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is estimated that one-third of the world’s population is infected with the latent (LTB) version of this disease, with only 5-10%

, 2010 Plant small RNAs are a class of 19- to 25-nucleotide (nt) RNA molecules that are essential for genome stability, development and differentiation, disease, cellular communication, signaling, and adaptive responses to biotic and abiotic stress.
