This paper describes a method allowing correcting false gene expression measured on highly degraded RNA using real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RTQ-PCR). RNA was isolated from different models (in vitro cell lines, in vivo models of human and dog) and different tissue types. In vitro RNA degradation and modeling of in vivo degradation were applied on intact...

The H/ACA RNAs represent an abundant, evolutionarily conserved and functionally diverse class of non-coding RNAs. Many H/ACA RNAs direct pseudouridylation of rRNAs and snRNAs, while members of the rapidly growing group of 'orphan' H/ACA RNAs participate in pre-rRNA processing, telomere synthesis and probably, in other nuclear processes. The yeast snR30 'orphan' H/ACA snoRNA has long been known ...

Intermolecular hybridization experiments show that murine 18S rRNA and 28S rRNA are capable of forming stable hybrid structures with mRNA from genes p53, c-myc and c-mos from the same species. Both 5'-uncoding and coding oncogene p53 mRNA regions contain fragments interacting with rRNA. Computer analysis revealed 18S rRNA fragments complementary to oligonucleotides frequently met in mRNA, which...

rRNA genes are attractive targets for developing PCR assays targeting human fungal pathogens. Most studies have focused on the 18S rRNA gene, internal transcribed spacers, and the 5' end of the 28S rRNA gene. An approximately 2,900-bp region of the 28S rRNA gene remains largely unexplored because sequences of many medically relevant fungi are either unavailable or undefined in genomic databases...

Background and objectives:  Haplophyllum canaliculatum isan endemicand endangeredIranian plant from Rutaceae family. The object of this work was to study the volatile production in established shoot and callus cultures of Haplophyllum canaliculatum as well as isolation, identification and sequencing of 18S rRNA gene from callus culture. ...

cryptosporidium species are one of the most common causes of gastrointestinal infection in humans around the world. this study has aimed to investigate the hyper variable region of the 18s rrna gene in cryptosporidium for exact parasite identification . dna was extracted from 26 fecal samples from which initially cryptosporidium oocysts were identified by ziehl-neelsen acid-fast , auramine phen...

background: sarcocystosis in south american camelids (sac) is an important parasitic disease which results in economical loss due to carcass condemnation. meat products from camelids are significant source of animal protein in several american countries. sarcocystis spp. producing macroscopical cysts in these animals have been nominated as s. aucheniae, s. tilopodi, and s. guanicoecanis. the ai...

We have determined the nucleotide sequence of part of a cloned ribosomal transcription unit from Xenopus laevis extending from the 3' region of the 18S gene through the 18S-28S intergene region into the start of the 28S gene. The 18S 3' region possess two tracts of high homology with the corresponding segments of other eukaryotic 18S genes (yeast and Bombyx mori) separated by a tract of low hom...

To assess genetic diversity in Cryptosporidium oocysts from Canada geese, 161 fecal samples from Canada geese in the United States were analyzed. Eleven (6.8%) were positive for Cryptosporidium spp. following nested PCR amplification of the hypervariable region of the 18S rRNA gene. Nine PCR products from geese were cloned and sequenced, and all nine diverged from previously reported Cryptospor...

Analysis of multiple marker genes using metabarcoding environmental DNA (eDNA) can offer information greater than that from sequencing single genes, such as responses across the phylogenetic tree to gradients (Cordier et al. 2019). Furthermore, regions same gene be sequenced improve resolution (Fuks 2018). However, separate amplification reactions and library preparation steps for each costly t...
