Checklist: Vertebrate homeo☐ genes
Up to now around 170 different homeobox genes have been cloned from vertebrate genomes. A compilation of the various isolates from mouse, chick, frog, fish and man is presented in the form of a concise checklist, including the designations from the original publications. Putative homologs from different species are aligned, and key characteristics of embryonic or adult expression domains, as we...
متن کاملExpression of homeo box genes during mouse development: a review.
The aim of this review is to summarize briefly w^hat is presently known about the spatial and temporal patterns of homeo box gene expression during mouse development. Since information about mouse homeo box genes is accumulating very rapidly, this review does not offer a complete compendium of facts about topics such as gene sequence and organization. Instead, we have tried to assemble rather f...
متن کاملVertebrate microRNA genes.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an abundant class of 22-nucleotide (nt) noncoding RNAs, some of which are known to control the expression of other genes at the posttranscriptional level (1–4). We developed a computational procedure (MiRscan) to identify miRNA genes (5) and apply it here to identify most of the miRNA genes in vertebrates. MiRscan relies on the observation that the known miRNAs derive fro...
متن کاملOverlapping genes in vertebrate genomes
Overlapping genes in mammalian genomes are unexpected phenomena even though hundreds of pairs of protein coding overlapping genes have been reported so far. Overlapping genes can be divided into different categories based on direction of transcription as well as on sequence segments being shared between overlapping coding regions. The biologic functions of natural antisense transcripts, their i...
متن کاملComparative Studies of Vertebrate Beta Integrin Genes and Proteins: Ancient Genes in Vertebrate Evolution
Intregins are heterodimeric α- and β-subunit containing membrane receptor proteins which serve various cell adhesion roles in tissue repair, hemostasis, immune response, embryogenesis and metastasis. At least 18 α- (ITA or ITGA) and 8 β-integrin subunits (ITB or ITGB) are encoded on mammalian genomes. Comparative ITB amino acid sequences and protein structures and ITB gene locations were examin...
