Burgeoning evidence indicates that microRNAs were initially formed from transposable element sequences
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) constitute a recently discovered class of noncoding RNAs that play key roles in the regulation of gene expression. Despite being only ~20 nucleotides in length, these highly versatile molecules have been shown to play pivotal roles in development, basic cellular metabolism, apoptosis, and disease. While over 24,000 miRNAs have been characterized since they were first isolated...
متن کاملEvidence from multiple gene sequences indicates that termites evolved from wood-feeding cockroaches
Despite more than half a century of research, the evolutionary origin of termites remains unresolved [1] [2] [3]. A clear picture of termite ancestry is crucial for understanding how these insects evolved eusociality, particularly because they lack the haplodiploid genetic system associated with eusocial evolution in bees, ants, wasps and thrips [4] [5]. Termites, together with cockroaches and ...
متن کاملMicroRNAs that target RGS5
Objective(s):An earlier meta-analysis on gene expression data derived from four microarray, two cDNA library, and one SAGE experiment had identified RGS5 as one of only ten non-housekeeping genes that were reported to be expressed in human trabecular meshwork (TM) cells by all studies. RGS5 encodes regulator of G-protein signaling-5. The TM tissue is the route of aqueous fluid outflow, and is r...
متن کاملOptional that indicates production difficulty: evidence from disfluencies
Optional word omission, such as that omission in complement and relative clauses, has been argued to be driven by production pressure (rather than by comprehension). One particularly strong production-driven hypothesis states that speakers insert words to buy time to alleviate production difficulties. I present evidence from the distribution of disfluencies in non-subjectextracted relative clau...
متن کاملAnalysis of transposable element sequences using CENSOR and RepeatMasker.
Eukaryotic genomes are full of repetitive DNA, transposable elements (TEs) in particular, and accordingly there are a number of computational methods that can be used to identify TEs from genomic sequences. We present here a survey of two of the most readily available and widely used bioinformatics applications for the detection, characterization, and analysis of TE sequences in eukaryotic geno...
