Trans-natural antisense transcripts including noncoding RNAs in 10 species: implications for expression regulation
Natural antisense transcripts are at least partially complementary to their sense transcripts. Cis-Sense/Antisense pairs (cis-SAs) have been extensively characterized and known to play diverse regulatory roles, whereas trans-Sense/Antisense pairs (trans-SAs) in animals are poorly studied. We identified long trans-SAs in human and nine other animals, using ESTs to increase coverage significantly...
متن کاملRegulation of inducible gene expression by natural antisense transcripts.
Natural antisense transcripts are frequently transcribed from many genes in eukaryotes. Although natural antisense transcripts have been recognized for a long time, their importance has been overlooked due to their heterogeneity, low expression level, and unknown function. Genes induced in responses to various external stimuli are transcriptionally regulated by the activation of a gene promoter...
متن کاملNatural Antisense Transcripts: Molecular Mechanisms and Implications in Breast Cancers
Natural antisense transcripts are RNA sequences that can be transcribed from both DNA strands at the same locus but in the opposite direction from the gene transcript. Because strand-specific high-throughput sequencing of the antisense transcriptome has only been available for less than a decade, many natural antisense transcripts were first described as long non-coding RNAs. Although the preci...
متن کاملNatural antisense transcripts.
Recent years have seen the increasing understanding of the crucial role of RNA in the functioning of the eukaryotic genome. These discoveries, fueled by the achievements of the FANTOM, and later GENCODE and ENCODE consortia, led to the recognition of the important regulatory roles of natural antisense transcripts (NATs) arising from what was previously thought to be 'junk DNA'. Roughly defined ...
متن کاملDistinct expression patterns of natural antisense transcripts in Arabidopsis.
It has been shown that overlapping cis-natural antisense transcripts (cis-NATs) can form a regulatory circuit in which small RNAs derived from one transcript regulate stability of the other transcript, which manifests itself as anticorrelated expression. However, little is known about how widespread antagonistic expression of cis-NATs is. We have determined how frequently cis-NAT pairs, which m...
