  • MCE owns a unique collection of 17212 compounds with confirmed biological activities and clear targets. (chemscene.com)
  • This requirement poses a severe limitation for most biological applications, as it is difficult to curate such a large list of established marker genes for even well-studied cell types and impossible for many others. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Using NanoString technology, we further analyzed the fetal placenta samples from the NHBCS for the expression of genes encoding arsenic transporters and metabolic enzymes. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligonucleotides are widely used to interrogate gene function in whole organisms, and light-activatable derivatives can reveal spatial and temporal differences in gene activity. (cdc.gov)
  • These arrays contain oligonucleotide probes that span exon-exon junctions, and probes positioned within exons to determine individual exon levels and overall transcript expression. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants of this gene. (cancerindex.org)
  • with these three reports, we are beginning to understand the consequences of this regulation for the development of the plant. (sciencedaily.com)
  • Fru target genes overwhelmingly represent genes previously reported to be involved in the nervous system development, such as CadN, lola and pdm2. (ox.ac.uk)
  • Tumor-specific variations in splicing may generate new epitopes that can serve as a starting point for immune therapy or targeted delivery, as well as for the development of new diagnostic or prognostic tools [ 6 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The miR172 and its target euAP2 genes are involved in the process of phase transformation and flower organ development in many plants. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Most euAP2 genes were highly expressed in the floral organs, suggesting their specific functions in flower development. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Runx factors bind DNA and co-factors to activate or repress genes crucial for bone formation, hematopoiesis, and neuronal development. (elsevierpure.com)
  • All RBPs bind RNA, however they do so with different RNA-sequence specificities and affinities, which allows the RBPs to be as diverse as their targets and functions. (wikipedia.org)
  • The HRC enhancer contains a small, highly conserved sequence that is required for expression in all three muscle lineages. (ox.ac.uk)
  • A sequence analysis suggested that 17 euAP2 genes were targeted by Bna-miR172 in the 3′ coding region. (biomedcentral.com)
  • While it is impractical to repeat every experiment done in D. melanogaster in every other strain and species, we are extending several classes of experiment to selected strains and species so that we can better understand regulatory variation at each of its multiple levels: how sequence variation affects binding, how binding variation affects expression, and how expression variation affects phenotype. (berkeley.edu)
  • AC-4-130 directly binds to STAT5 and disrupts STAT5 activation, dimerization, nuclear translocation, and STAT5-dependent gene transcription. (bvsalud.org)
  • One of these targets is the transcription factor AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR17 (ARF17), which is thought to repress the expression of a number of other genes involved in auxin responses. (sciencedaily.com)
