Natural antisense transcripts associated with genes involved in eye development.
Natural antisense transcripts (NATs) are a class of genes whose role in controlling gene expression is becoming more and more relevant. We describe the identification of eight novel mouse NATs associated with transcription factors (Pax6, Pax2, Six3, Six6, Otx2, Crx, Rax and Vax2) that play an important role in eye development and function. These newly identified NATs overlap with the mature pro...
متن کاملNatural antisense transcripts.
Recent years have seen the increasing understanding of the crucial role of RNA in the functioning of the eukaryotic genome. These discoveries, fueled by the achievements of the FANTOM, and later GENCODE and ENCODE consortia, led to the recognition of the important regulatory roles of natural antisense transcripts (NATs) arising from what was previously thought to be 'junk DNA'. Roughly defined ...
متن کاملNATsDB: Natural Antisense Transcripts DataBase
Natural antisense transcripts (NATs) are reverse complementary at least in part to the sequences of other endogenous sense transcripts. Most NATs are transcribed from opposite strands of their sense partners. They regulate sense genes at multiple levels and are implicated in various diseases. Using an improved whole-genome computational pipeline, we identified abundant cis-encoded exon-overlapp...
متن کاملIdentification of natural antisense transcripts involved in human colorectal cancer development.
Natural antisense transcripts (NATs) constitute a class of non-coding RNAs that have emerged as important regulators of gene expression. However, involvement of NATs in colorectal cancer (CRC) development has not been reported to date. In the present study, the up- and down-regulation of NATs were investigated in human CRC for their possible involvement in CRC development. Total RNAs isolated f...
متن کاملNatural antisense transcripts are significantly involved in regulation of drought stress in maize
Natural antisense transcripts (NATs) are a prominent and complex class of regulatory RNAs. Using strand-specific RNA sequencing, we identified 1769 sense and antisense transcript pairs (NAT pairs) in two maize inbreds with different sensitivity to drought, as well as in two derivative recombination inbred lines (RILs). A significantly higher proportion of NATs relative to non-NATs are specifica...
