lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs

lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs

In humans, more than 80% of the genome gets transcribed. However, only around 2% of the genome codes for proteins. The remaining part produces non-coding RNAs which includes ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, telomerase RNAs, and regulatory RNAs, among other types. A large number of regulatory non-coding RNAs have been classified into two groups depending upon their length – small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNA, which are less than 200 nucleotides in length, and long non-coding RNA...

What is Gene Expression?

What is Gene Expression?

Overview
Gene expression is the process in which DNA directs the synthesis of functional products, that is, proteins. Cells can regulate gene expression at various stages. It allows organisms to generate different cell types and enables cells to adapt to internal and external factors.
Genetic Information Flows from DNA to RNA to Protein
A gene is a stretch of DNA that serves as the blueprint for functional RNAs and proteins. Since DNA is made up of nucleotides and proteins consist of amino...

RNA Splicing

RNA Splicing

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...

Ribosomal RNA Synthesis

Ribosomal RNA Synthesis

Ribosome synthesis is a highly complex and coordinated process involving more than 200 assembly factors. The synthesis and processing of ribosomal components occurs not only in the nucleolus but also in the nucleoplasm and the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells.
Ribosome biogenesis begins with the synthesis of 5S and 45S pre-rRNAs by distinct RNA polymerases. The primary transcripts are extensively processed and modified before they are bound and folded by ribosomal proteins and assembly factors,...

Nursing Code of Ethics

Nursing Code of Ethics

The Nursing Code of Ethics sets the ethical benchmark for the profession, and guides nurses in ethical analysis and decision making at the societal, organizational, and clinical levels. The code encompasses showing compassion and respect for the patient, their families, and communities in all circumstances while committing to providing patient-centered care. In addition, the code states that nurses must advocate for the patient by defending a cause or recommendation to protect their rights,...

Area of Science:

Molecular Biology
Developmental Biology
Genetics

Background:

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are crucial regulators of gene expression, impacting cellular functions and disease states.
Nephrogenic mesenchymal progenitors are key cells for forming the nephron, the kidney's functional unit.
Understanding miRNA expression in these progenitors is vital for kidney development research.

Purpose of the Study:

To comprehensively profile miRNA expression in mouse nephrogenic mesenchymal progenitors.
To identify novel miRNAs involved in kidney development.
To provide a public resource for future kidney research.

Main Methods:

miRNA sequencing of mouse nephrogenic mesenchymal progenitors.
Differential expression analysis comparing progenitors to whole kidney tissue.
Bioinformatic annotation and experimental validation of novel miRNAs.

Main Results:

Identified 162 differentially expressed miRNAs in nephrogenic mesenchymal progenitors versus whole kidney.
Annotated 49 novel miRNAs within the developing kidney.
Experimentally validated 4 of the newly identified miRNAs.

Conclusions:

The study provides a valuable miRNA expression dataset for mouse kidney progenitors.
The identified miRNAs and novel candidates offer insights into kidney development regulation.
This resource will facilitate further research into kidney progenitor specification, self-renewal, and differentiation.
