Gene regulatory networks control gene expression levels, and therefore play an essential role in mammalian development and function. Regulation of gene expression is the result of a complex interplay between DNA regulatory elements and their binding partne ...
Excess fat mass in obese individuals, which is characterized by an increase of white adipocyte cell size and number, significantly raises the risk of developing metabolic syndrome symptoms as well as cancer. A detailed understanding of the transcriptional ...
R6/2 transgenic mice with expanded CAG repeats (> 300) have a surprisingly prolonged disease progression and longer lifespan than prototypical parent R6/2 mice (carrying 150 CAGs); however, the mechanism of this phenotype amelioration is unknown. We compar ...
Ataxia is a clinical feature of most polyglutamine disorders. Cerebellar neurodegeneration of Purkinje cells (PCs) in Huntington's Disease (HD) brain was described in the 1980s. PC death in the R6/2 transgenic model for HD was published by Turmaine et al. ...
Selective degeneration of striatal neurons is a pathologic hallmark of Huntington disease (HD). The exact mechanism(s) behind this specific neurodegeneration is still unknown. Expression studies of diseased human post-mortem brain, as well as different mou ...
Unicellular photosynthetic algae (dinoflagellate) from the genus Symbiodinium live in mutualistic symbiosis with reef-building corals. Cultured Symbiodinium sp. (clade C) were exposed to a range of environmental stresses that included elevated temperatures ...
Regulation of gene expression is a carefully regulated phenomenon in the cell. “Reverse-engineering” algorithms try to reconstruct the regulatory interactions among genes from genome-scale measurements of gene expression profiles (microarrays). Mammalian c ...
Identification of genes underlying human diseases is an important step in understanding and treating genetic disorders. Based on the assumption that related diseases are caused by related genes, several methods for candidate gene prioritization have been p ...
The vast majority of genes in humans and other organisms undergo alternative splicing, yet the biological function of splice variants is still very poorly understood in large part because of the lack of simple tools that can map the expression profiles and ...
Desulfotomaculum reducens is the first Gram-positive sulfate- and metal-reducing bacterium for which the transcriptomic response to uranium exposure has been evaluated. The genes upregulated during fermentative growth in the presence of U(VI) as compared t ...
