T cell activation is a complex process involving many steps and the role played by the non-protein-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in this phenomenon is still unclear. The non-coding T cells transcript (NTT) is ...
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 8 (SCA8) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by the expansion of a CTG trinucleotide repeat that is transcribed as part of an untranslated RNA. As a step towards underst...
Previous studies showed that the rat identifier sequence, the rodent type 2 Alu family, the rabbit C family and the bovine or goat 73 bp repeat show remarkable resemblance with a few specific tRNA mol...
The presence of platelet-activating factor receptor (PAF-R) transcripts 1 and 2 was investigated in human bone marrow cells by a reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) procedure whic...
Transcription of the major oocyte 5S RNA gene (o) and pseudogene (psi) of Xenopus laevis yields different RNAs with three different homologous systems: oocyte microinjection, whole oocyte extract, and...
The requirement for sample standardization is basic to any relative RNA abundance assessment. In 2002, we published on the RNA abundance profiling of several housekeeping targets during early bovine e...
The transcriptionally active fragment of the yeast RNA polymerase II transcription elongation factor, TFIIS, comprises a three-helix bundle and a zinc ribbon motif joined by a linker region. We have p...
BACKGROUND: Cyclin D1 expression is central to mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) biology. The cyclin D1 gene produces two forms of mRNA: long (D1L) and short (D1S) versions. AIMS: To study the relationship b...
