Diverse functions of nuclear non-coding RNAs in eukaryotic gene expression.
Recent genome-wide analyses revealed that eukaryotic genomes are almost entirely transcribed, generating a large number of short or long non-protein coding RNAs (non-coding RNAs; ncRNAs). Rapidly accumulating experimental evidence suggests that ncRNAs are not just transcriptional noise, but have biological roles in gene expression. In this review, we focus on the functions of nuclear-localized ...
متن کاملExpression pattern and, surprisingly, gene length shape codon usage in Caenorhabditis, Drosophila, and Arabidopsis.
We measured the expression pattern and analyzed codon usage in 8,133, 1,550, and 2,917 genes, respectively, from Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila melanogaster, and Arabidopsis thaliana. In those three species, we observed a clear correlation between codon usage and gene expression levels and showed that this correlation is not due to a mutational bias. This provides direct evidence for select...
متن کاملGenetic diseases and gene knockouts reveal diverse connexin functions.
Intercellular channels present in gap junctions allow cells to share small molecules and thus coordinate a wide range of behaviors. Remarkably, although junctions provide similar functions in all multicellular organisms, vertebrates and invertebrates use unrelated gene families to encode these channels. The recent identification of the invertebrate innexin family opens up powerful genetic syste...
متن کاملAutomatically Defined Functions in Gene Expression Programming
In this chapter it is shown how Automatically Defined Functions are encoded in the genotype/phenotype system of Gene Expression Programming. As an introduction, the fundamental differences between Gene Expression Programming and its predecessors, Genetic Algorithms and Genetic Programming, are briefly summarized so that the evolutionary advantages of Gene Expression Programming are better under...
متن کاملConserved Gene Expression Programs in Developing Roots from Diverse Plants.
The molecular basis for the origin and diversification of morphological adaptations is a central issue in evolutionary developmental biology. Here, we defined temporal transcript accumulation in developing roots from seven vascular plants, permitting a genome-wide comparative analysis of the molecular programs used by a single organ across diverse species. The resulting gene expression maps unc...
