1. Identification and Characterisation of Alternative Splice Variants of Hoxb9 and Their Correlation with Melanogenesis in the Black-Boned Chicken
ABSTRACT Homeobox B9 (HOXB9) gene has been demonstrated to be associated with melanogenesis in chicken plumage by high-throughput RNA sequencing. In this study, we cloned and characterised HOXB9 in black-boned chickens. Two alternative splice variants (HOXB9-1 and HOXB9-2) were identified in chicken feather bulbs. Expression analysis of HOXB9 in 11 differen

2. Introns in Cryptococcus
In Cryptococcus neoformans, nearly all genes are interrupted by small introns. In recent years, genome annotation and genetic analysis have illuminated the major roles these introns play in the biology of this pathogenic yeast. Introns are necessary for gene expression and alternative splicing can regulate gene expression in response to environmental cues. I

3. Alternative splicing originates different domain structure organization of Lutzomyia longipalpis chitinases
BACKGROUND The insect chitinase gene family is composed by more than 10 paralogs, which can codify proteins with different domain structures. In Lutzomyia longipalpis, the main vector of visceral leishmaniasis in Brazil, a chitinase cDNA from adult female insects was previously characterized. The predicted protein contains one catalytic domain and one chiti

4. Alternatively spliced MEFV transcript lacking exon 2 and its protein isoform pyrin-2d implies an epigenetic regulation of the gene in inflammatory cell culture models
Abstract The function of gene body DNA methylation in alternative splicing, and its relation to disease pathogenesis is not fully elucidated. The gene for familial Mediterranean fever (MEFV) encodes the pyrin protein and contains a 998 bp CpG island, covering the second exon, which is differentially methylated in FMF patients compared to healthy controls.

5. Optimized Exon-Exon Junction Library and its Application on Rodents' Brain Transcriptome Analysis
ABSTRACT Background: Alternative splicing (AS), which plays an important role in gene expression and functional regulation, has been analyzed on genome-scale by various bioinformatic approaches based on RNA-seq data. Compared with the huge number of studies on mouse, the AS researches approaching the rat, whose genome is intermedia between mouse and human,

6. Epigenetic modifications and their relation to caste and sex determination and adult division of labor in the stingless bee Melipona scutellaris
Abstract Stingless bees of the genus Melipona, have long been considered an enigmatic case among social insects for their mode of caste determination, where in addition to larval food type and quantity, the genotype also has a saying, as proposed over 50 years ago by Warwick E. Kerr. Several attempts have since tried to test his Mendelian two-loci/two-allele

7. The consensus sequence of FAMLF alternative splice variants is overexpressed in undifferentiated hematopoietic cells
The familial acute myeloid leukemia related factor gene (FAMLF) was previously identified from a familial AML subtractive cDNA library and shown to undergo alternative splicing. This study used real-time quantitative PCR to investigate the expression of the FAMLF alternative-splicing transcript consensus sequence (FAMLF-CS) in peripheral blood mononuclear ce

8. Abeta(1-42) induces abnormal alternative splicing of tau exons 2/3 in NGF-induced PC12 cells
Proteína Tau desempenha um papel crucial na fisiopatologia da doença de Alzheimer, onde sua hiper-fosforilação promove agregação e desestabilização de microtúbulo. Tau submete-se a splicing alternativo que gera seis isoformas no cérebro humano, devido a inclusão/exclusão dos exons 2, 3 e 10. A desregulação do processo de splicing do exon tau 10

9. Molecular cloning of a hyaluronidase from Bothrops pauloensis venom gland
Background Hyaluronate is one of the major components of extracellular matrix from vertebrates whose breakdown is catalyzed by the enzyme hyaluronidase. These enzymes are widely described in snake venoms, in which they facilitate the spreading of the main toxins in the victim’s body during the envenoming. Snake venoms also present some variants (hyaluron

10. Identification of alternative transcripts of rat CD9 expressed by tumorigenic neural cell lines and in normal tissues
CD9 is the best-studied member of the tetraspanin family of transmembrane proteins. It is involved in various fundamental cellular processes and its altered expression is a characteristic of malignant cells of different origins. Despite numerous investigations confirming its fundamental role, the heterogeneity of CD9 or other tetraspanin proteins was conside

11. Investigating he signature of natural selection on exonic splicing regulators of the human genome / Análise dos sinais de seleção natural em reguladores de splicing exônicos do genoma humano
Splicing is the process by which introns are removed from a mRNA precursor and exons are ligated to form a mature mRNA. During this process several cis and trans factors are involved. Besides the canonical cis factors (e.g., splicing sites, branch point and polypyrimidine tract), Splicing Regulators - short sequences located in exons and introns - have an im

12. Expression analyses of candidate resistance genes in the Rpp4 Asian Soybean Rust resistance locus.
Asian Soybean Rust (ASR), caused Phakopsora pachyrhizi, is considered the most severe soybean disease around the world. Infection of susceptible genotypes leads to early defoliation, incomplete seed development, and yield losses as high as 80%. Five ASR resistance genes have been identified in soybean: Rpp1, Rpp2, Rpp3, Rpp4 and Rpp5. Of particular interest
