MicroRNAs: Genetically Sensitized Worms Reveal New Secrets
Why do many microRNA gene mutants display no evident phenotype? Multiply mutant worms that are selectively impaired in genetic regulatory network activities have been used to uncover previously unknown functions for numerous Caenorhabditis elegans microRNAs.
متن کاملWorms reveal essential functions for intermediate filaments.
I filaments (IF) represent one of the three major cytoskeletal systems found in animal cells. Their somewhat uninspired name was originally derived from their 10-nm diameter, which lies between that of smaller actincontaining microfilaments and larger microtubules. This name, however, belies their importance as critical players in the organization of cells and tissues of vertebrate systems. As ...
متن کاملThe Complex Intron Landscape and Massive Intron Invasion in a Picoeukaryote Provides Insights into Intron Evolution
Genes in pieces and spliceosomal introns are a landmark of eukaryotes, with intron invasion usually assumed to have happened early on in evolution. Here, we analyze the intron landscape of Micromonas, a unicellular green alga in the Mamiellophyceae lineage, demonstrating the coexistence of several classes of introns and the occurrence of recent massive intron invasion. This study focuses on two...
متن کاملHuman Tears Reveal Insights into Corneal Neovascularization
Corneal neovascularization results from the encroachment of blood vessels from the surrounding conjunctiva onto the normally avascular cornea. The aim of this study is to identify factors in human tears that are involved in development and/or maintenance of corneal neovascularization in humans. This could allow development of diagnostic tools for monitoring corneal neovascularization and combin...
متن کاملTurtle phylogeny: insights from a novel nuclear intron.
Introns have gained considerable popularity as markers for molecular phylogenetics. However, no primers exist for a nuclear intron that amplifies across all turtles. Available data from morphology and mitochondrial DNA have not unambiguously resolved relationships within the superfamily Trionychoidea and the family Chelidae, which together form a large portion of extant turtle diversity. We tes...
