Fine Scale Regulatory Annotation of Cancer Genes
The purpose of this 6-week project is the fine scale regulatory annotation of a list of genes that have been specifically shown to be active in tumour (cancer) cells – we will refer to these as “cancer” genes. Understanding under what circumstances these genes get turned on, that is, what factors regulate the transcription of cancer genes is of utmost importance in cancer research. Bioinformati...
متن کاملFine-Scale Recombination Maps of Fungal Plant Pathogens Reveal Dynamic Recombination Landscapes and Intragenic Hotspots
Meiotic recombination is an important driver of evolution. Variability in the intensity of recombination across chromosomes can affect sequence composition, nucleotide variation, and rates of adaptation. In many organisms, recombination events are concentrated within short segments termed recombination hotspots. The variation in recombination rate and positions of recombination hotspot can be s...
متن کاملGenetic mapping uncovers cis-regulatory landscape of RNA editing
Adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing, catalysed by ADAR enzymes conserved in metazoans, plays an important role in neurological functions. Although the fine-tuning mechanism provided by A-to-I RNA editing is important, the underlying rules governing ADAR substrate recognition are not well understood. We apply a quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping approach to identify genetic variants ass...
متن کاملLong-range evolutionary constraints reveal cis-regulatory interactions on the human X chromosome
Enhancers can regulate the transcription of genes over long genomic distances. This is thought to lead to selection against genomic rearrangements within such regions that may disrupt this functional linkage. Here we test this concept experimentally using the human X chromosome. We describe a scoring method to identify evolutionary maintenance of linkage between conserved noncoding elements and...
متن کاملMC EMiNEM Maps the Interaction Landscape of the Mediator
The Mediator is a highly conserved, large multiprotein complex that is involved essentially in the regulation of eukaryotic mRNA transcription. It acts as a general transcription factor by integrating regulatory signals from gene-specific activators or repressors to the RNA Polymerase II. The internal network of interactions between Mediator subunits that conveys these signals is largely unknow...
