Quantitative reverse transcriptase real-time PCR (QRT-PCR) is a robust method to quantitate RNA abundance. The procedure is highly sensitive and reproducible as long as the initial RNA is intact. However, breaks in the RNA due to chemical or enzymatic clea ...
Motivation: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small endogenous RNAs that can play important regulatory roles via the RNA-interference pathway by targeting mRNAs for cleavage or translational repression. We propose a computational method to predict mi ...
Mutations in Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (encoded by SOD1), one of the causes of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), lead to progressive death of motoneurons through a gain-of-function mechanism. RNA interference (RNAi) mediated by viral vectors a ...
We have isolated and characterised the promoter of the mouse Scnn1a (alpha ENaC) gene. Using transient transfections of serial deletion mutants into Scnn1a-expressing cells, we demonstrate that 1.56 kb of 5' upstream sequence is required for cell-specific ...
Motivation: MicroRNAs are small endogenous RNAs that can play important regulatory roles via the RNA-interference pathway by targeting mRNAs for cleavage or translational repression. We propose a computational method to predict miRNA regulatory modules or ...
Human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells, a widely used host for large-scale transient expression of recombinant proteins, are transformed with the adenovirus E1A and E1B genes. Because the E1A proteins function as transcriptional activators or repressors ...
Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal, dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by expansion of a glutamine (polyQ) repeat in the huntingtin (htt) protein. The selective striatal neurodegeneration induced by this disease causes choreic in ...
RNA interference has emerged as a powerful technique to downregulate the expression of specific genes in cells and in animals, thus opening new perspectives in fields ranging from developmental genetics to molecular therapeutics. Here, we describe a method ...
Microarray studies have shown recently that microbial infection leads to extensive changes in the Drosophila gene expression programme. However, little is known about the control of most of the fly immune-responsive genes, except for the antimicrobial pept ...
RNA interference (RNAi) is a form of posttranscriptional gene silencing mediated by short double-stranded RNA, known as small interfering RNA (siRNA). These siRNAs are capable of binding to a specific mRNA sequence and causing its degradation. The recent d ...
