  • For example, microarray technology has been used to compare gene expression profiles between normal and diseased cells and this has led to dramatic advances in the understanding of cellular processes at the molecular level [ 1 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • An appropriate internal control for Q-RT-PCR should be expressed stably across all data samples and if this is true, measurement of genes relative to the internal control will reflect the real gene expression. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The developmental gradient in monocot leaves has been exploited to uncover leaf developmental gene expression programs and chloroplast biogenesis processes. (biomedcentral.com)
  • This allows us to generate the first biologically-informed gene expression map of this leaf, with the entire developmental gradient from meristematic to fully differentiated cells captured. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Using a network reconstruction algorithm, we predict that known chloroplast gene expression regulators are differentially involved across those developmental stages. (biomedcentral.com)

  • One CCGG site 164 base-pairs upstream from the start of transcription is preferentially unmethylated in some genes. (ncsu.edu)
  • The problem with this part of the book (the part about the molecular gene) is that the authors seem to be confused about the difference between a molecular gene and the view that "genes" are the only thing that count in genetics, evolution, metabolism etc. (blogspot.com)

  • There are two types of genes: protein-coding genes and those that specify a functional noncoding RNA (i.e ribosomal RNA, lincRNA). (blogspot.com)
  • Thus, when they recognize that important functional elements exist outside of genes, they conclude that the gene-centric view is fatally flawed. (blogspot.com)
  • However, in many cases, the RNA needs further processing before it is functional. (printerresource.com)
  • Dominant, very active loci have a higher proportion of rRNA genes with unmethylated cytosine residues in comparison with recessive and inactive loci. (ncsu.edu)
  • Ribosomal RNA genes at different nucleolar organizer (NOR) loci in hexaploid wheat are expressed at different levels. (ncsu.edu)
  • Here, we show that rRNA genes at dominant loci are organized in a chromatin conformation that renders them more sensitive to DNase I digestion than other rRNA genes. (ncsu.edu)
  • These loci (rrnA, rrnB and rrnC) were isolated on recombinant lambda clones, and comprised 16S, 23S and 5S rRNA genes closely linked in that order. (microbiologyresearch.org)
