17-P036 How are the chromosome ends of immortal worms maintained?
immediate early step in PrE specification. We show that the fraction cells present with in this state is influenced by factors that both promote and suppress primitive PrE differentiation, however conditions that support ES cell self-renewal prevent their progression into endoderm differentiation and support an equilibrium between this state and at least one other that resembles the inner cell ...
متن کاملHow worms survive desiccation
While life requires water, many organisms, known as anhydrobiotes, can survive in the absence of water for extended periods of time. Although discovered 300 years ago, we know very little about the fascinating phenomenon of anhydrobiosis. In this paper, we summarize our previous findings on the desiccation tolerance of the Caenorhabditis elegans dauer larva. A special emphasis is given to the r...
متن کاملHow robins find worms
An understanding of diet selection in animals requires knowledge of not only what animals eat in relation to what is available, but also how they perceive the foods available to them. Birds use auditory, visual, olfactory and possibly vibrotactile cues to find prey, but vision is the predominant mode of prey detection. In a series of controlled experiments in an aviary, four American robins, Tu...
متن کاملTERRA Incognita at chromosome ends.
Telomeres are transcribed in long noncoding RNA named TERRA. Although TERRA functions have been extensively investigated, the role of TERRA in telomerase recruitment and regulation is still elusive. In this issue of EMBO Reports, Moravec et al report in Schizosaccharomyces pombe that telomere shortening induces the expression of TERRA [1]. They show that polyadenylated TERRA molecules specifica...
متن کاملRetrotransposons that maintain chromosome ends.
Reverse transcriptases have shaped genomes in many ways. A remarkable example of this shaping is found on telomeres of the genus Drosophila, where retrotransposons have a vital role in chromosome structure. Drosophila lacks telomerase; instead, three telomere-specific retrotransposons maintain chromosome ends. Repeated transpositions to chromosome ends produce long head to tail arrays of these ...
