Multi-species Conserved Sequences02:51

Multi-species Conserved Sequences

4.0K
Next-generation sequencing technologies have created large genomic databases of a variety of animals and plants. Ever since the human genome project was completed, scientists studied the genome of primates, mammals, and other phylogenetically distant living beings. Such large-scale  studies have provided new insights into the evolutionary relationship between organisms.
Although the genome of each species varies greatly from each other, a few sequences are highly conserved. Such conserved...

lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs02:39

lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs

8.7K
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...

Ribosome Profiling02:24

Ribosome Profiling

3.6K
Ribosome profiling or ribo-sequencing is a deep sequencing technique that produces a snapshot of active translation in a cell. It selectively sequences the mRNAs protected by ribosomes to get an insight into a cell’s translation landscape at any given point in time.
Applications of ribosome profiling
Ribosome profiling has many applications, including in vivo monitoring of translation inside a particular organ or tissue type and quantifying new protein synthesis levels.
The technique...

Regulation of Expression at Multiple Steps01:23

Regulation of Expression at Multiple Steps

959
The gene expression in cells is regulated at different stages: (i) transcription, (ii) RNA processing, (iii) RNA localization, and (iv) translation. Transcriptional regulation is mediated by regulatory proteins such as transcription factors, activators, or repressors—these control gene expression by initiating or inhibiting the transcription of genes. Once a precursor or pre-mRNA is produced, it undergoes post-transcriptional modification, including 5' capping, splicing, and the...

mRNA Stability and Gene Expression02:51

mRNA Stability and Gene Expression

5.7K
The structure and stability of mRNA molecules regulates gene expression, as mRNAs are a key step in the pathway from gene to protein. In eukaryotes, the half-life of mRNA varies from a few minutes up to several days. mRNA stability is essential in growth and development. The absence of the proteins regulating its stability, such as tristetraprolin in mice, can cause systemic issues, including bone marrow overgrowth, inflammation, and autoimmunity.

RNA-seq03:21

RNA-seq

10.2K
RNA sequencing, or RNA-Seq, is a high-throughput sequencing technology used to study the transcriptome of a cell. Transcriptomics helps to interpret the functional elements of a genome and identify the molecular constituents of an organism. Additionally, it also helps in understanding the development of an organism and the occurrence of diseases. 
Before the discovery of RNA-seq, microarray-based methods and Sanger sequencing were used for transcriptome analysis. However, while...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Evolutionary Biology
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) show lower sequence conservation than coding genes, but can retain features across species.
  • Understanding lncRNA conservation is crucial for deciphering their functions and evolutionary roles.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically evaluate the conservation of human and mouse lncRNAs across multiple dimensions.
  • To identify conserved lncRNAs and characterize their unique features and regulatory mechanisms.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative genomics approaches including sequence, promoter, global, and local synteny analysis.
  • Identification of conserved lncRNAs based on multiple criteria.
  • Analysis of gene body features, tissue expression, disease association, and transcription factor (TF) binding profiles.

Main Results:

  • Identified 1,731 conserved lncRNAs, with 427 high-confidence candidates.
  • Conserved lncRNAs possess longer gene bodies, more exons/transcripts, stronger disease links, and broader tissue distribution compared to non-conserved ones.
  • TF binding analysis revealed enriched TF types and numbers in conserved lncRNA promoters, identifying specific TFs regulating their expression.

Conclusions:

  • Reconciled differing interpretations of lncRNA conservation.
  • Highlighted conserved lncRNAs as functionally significant and evolutionarily relevant.
  • Discovered novel transcriptional factors that play a key role in regulating conserved lncRNA expression.
