Identification and Properties of 1,119 Candidate LincRNA Loci in the Drosophila melanogaster Genome
The functional repertoire of long intergenic noncoding RNA (lincRNA) molecules has begun to be elucidated in mammals. Determining the biological relevance and potential gene regulatory mechanisms of these enigmatic molecules would be expedited in a more tractable model organism, such as Drosophila melanogaster. To this end, we defined a set of 1,119 putative lincRNA genes in D. melanogaster usi...
متن کاملIdentification of pseudogenes in the Drosophila melanogaster genome.
Pseudogenes are copies of genes that cannot produce a protein. They can be detected from disruptions to their apparent coding sequence, caused by frameshifts and premature stop codons. They are classed as either processed pseudogenes (made by reverse transcription from an mRNA) or duplicated pseudogenes, arising from duplication in the genomic DNA and subsequent disablement. Historically, there...
متن کاملThe Drosophila melanogaster Genome
The Drosophila melanogaster genome includes z 300 genes encoding translation factors or proteins with wellcharacterized RNA binding motifs. Essentially all of the canonical eukaryotic translation factors were found among their predicted products. The four most numerous classes of RNA binding proteins are RNA recognition motif (RRM) 1 proteins, DEAD/DExH-box helicases, KH domain proteins, and do...
متن کاملThe Drosophila melanogaster genome.
Drosophila's importance as a model organism made it an obvious choice to be among the first genomes sequenced, and the Release 1 sequence of the euchromatic portion of the genome was published in March 2000. This accomplishment demonstrated that a whole genome shotgun (WGS) strategy could produce a reliable metazoan genome sequence. Despite the attention to sequencing methods, the nucleotide se...
متن کاملPolygenic mutation in Drosophila melanogaster: genetic interactions between selection lines and candidate quantitative trait loci.
We have investigated genetic interactions between spontaneous mutations affecting abdominal and sternopleural bristle number that have accumulated in 12 long-term selection lines derived from an inbred strain, and mutations at 14 candidate bristle number quantitative trait loci. The quantitative test for complementation was to cross the selection lines to an inbred wild-type strain (the control...
