Deformation in a Circular Shaft01:10

Deformation in a Circular Shaft

924
One of the distinctive characteristics of circular shafts is their ability to maintain their cross-sectional integrity under torsion. In other words, each cross-section continues to exist as a flat, unaltered entity, simply rotating like a solid, rigid slab. To understand the distribution of shearing stress within such a shaft, consider a cylindrical section inside this circular shaft. This section has a length of L and a radius of R, with one end fixed. The radius of the cylindrical section is...

RNA Splicing01:32

RNA Splicing

60.6K
Splicing is the process by which eukaryotic RNA is edited before its translation into protein. The RNA strand transcribed from eukaryotic DNA is called the primary transcript. The primary transcripts that become mRNAs are called precursor messenger RNAs (pre-mRNAs). Eukaryotic pre-mRNA contains alternating sequences of exons and introns. Exons are nucleotide sequences that code for proteins, whereas introns are the non-coding regions. In RNA splicing, introns are removed and exons are bonded...

Stress Concentrations in Circular Shafts

580
Consider the elastic torsion formula, which applies to a circular shaft with a consistent cross-section. This formula assumes that the shaft's ends are loaded with rigid plates firmly attached. However, in many cases, torques are applied to the shaft through mechanisms like flange couplings or gears, which are connected by keys inserted into keyways. This application method modifies the stress distribution near the point of torque application, causing it to deviate from the distributions...

RNA Interference01:23

RNA Interference

28.1K
RNA interference (RNAi) is a process in which a small non-coding RNA molecule blocks the post-transcriptional expression of a gene by binding to its messenger RNA (mRNA) and preventing the protein from being translated.
This process occurs naturally in cells, often through the activity of genomically-encoded microRNAs. Researchers can take advantage of this mechanism by introducing synthetic RNAs to deactivate specific genes for research or therapeutic purposes. For example, RNAi could be used...

Uniform Circular Motion01:14

Uniform Circular Motion

22.3K
Uniform circular motion is a specific type of motion in which an object travels in a circle with a constant speed. For example, any point on a propeller spinning at a constant rate is undergoing uniform circular motion. The second, minute, and hour hands of a watch also undergo uniform circular motion. It is hard to believe that points on these rotating objects are actually accelerating, even though the rotation rate is constant. To understand this, we must analyze the motion in terms of...

Non-uniform Circular Motion01:22

Non-uniform Circular Motion

9.7K
In uniform circular motion, the particle executing circular motion has a constant speed, and the circle is at a fixed radius. However, not all circular motion occurs at a constant speed. A particle can travel in a circle and speed up or slow down, showing an acceleration in the direction of motion. In that case, the motion is called non-uniform circular motion, and an additional acceleration is introduced, which is in the direction tangential to the circle. 
For example, such...

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Genetics
  • Epigenetics

Background:

  • Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a novel class of non-coding RNA.
  • circRNAs are formed through the back-splicing of pre-mRNA.
  • Mammalian imprinted loci are critical for development and gene regulation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize novel circRNAs identified from mammalian imprinted loci.
  • To investigate the expression patterns of circRNAs compared to their linear mRNA counterparts.
  • To explore the potential roles of circRNAs in the regulation of imprinted genes.

Main Methods:

  • Next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based 5'RACE experiments were used for identification.
  • Expression analysis of circRNAs (circPeg3, circIgf2r) in neonatal tissues.
  • Comparison of circRNA expression with corresponding linear mRNA levels.

Main Results:

  • Two novel circRNAs, circPeg3 and circIgf2r, were identified from the Peg3 and Igf2r imprinted loci, respectively.
  • circPeg3 was detected at low abundance in neonatal brain, lung, and ovary.
  • circIgf2r exhibited high abundance and multiple forms with varying exon combinations.
  • Expression patterns of circPeg3 and circIgf2r differed significantly from their linear mRNA counterparts.

Conclusions:

  • Novel circRNAs specific to mammalian imprinted loci have been identified.
  • The distinct expression profiles suggest unique functions for these circRNAs.
  • circRNAs are likely involved in the regulation and function of imprinted genes.
