Comprehensive comparative homeobox gene annotation in human and mouse
Homeobox genes are a group of genes coding for transcription factors with a DNA-binding helix-turn-helix structure called a homeodomain and which play a crucial role in pattern formation during embryogenesis. Many homeobox genes are located in clusters and some of these, most notably the HOX genes, are known to have antisense or opposite strand long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) genes that play a reg...
متن کاملComparative gene prediction in human and mouse.
The completion of the sequencing of the mouse genome promises to help predict human genes with greater accuracy. While current ab initio gene prediction programs are remarkably sensitive (i.e., they predict at least a fragment of most genes), their specificity is often low, predicting a large number of false-positive genes in the human genome. Sequence conservation at the protein level with the...
متن کاملIsolation and expression of a new mouse homeobox gene.
A homeobox-containing clone has been isolated from an adult mouse kidney cDNA library and shown by DNA sequence analysis to be a new isolate, Hox-6.1. A genomic clone containing Hox-6.1 has been isolated and found to contain another putative homeobox sequence (Hox-6.2), within 7 kb of Hox-6.1. In situ hybridization of mouse metaphase chromosomes shows this Hox-6 locus to be located on chromosom...
متن کاملComparative Gene Expression Analysis of Mouse and Human Cardiac Maturation
Understanding how human cardiomyocytes mature is crucial to realizing stem cell-based heart regeneration, modeling adult heart diseases, and facilitating drug discovery. However, it is not feasible to analyze human samples for maturation due to inaccessibility to samples while cardiomyocytes mature during fetal development and childhood, as well as difficulty in avoiding variations among indivi...
متن کاملAutomating Gene Expression Annotation for Mouse Embryo
It is of high biomedical interest to identify gene interactions and networks that are associated with developmental and physiological functions in the mouse embryo. There are now large datasets with both spatial and ontological annotation of the spatio-temporal patterns of geneexpression that provide a powerful resource to discover potential mechanisms of embryo organisation. Ontological annota...
