  2. 6. Genome-wide Characterization of RNA Expression and Processing

    Author : Ammar Zaghlool; Lars Feuk; Rickard Sandberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; RNA sequencing; RNA splicing; RNA processing; Gene expression; Molekylär genetik; Molecular Genetics;

    Abstract : The production of fully mature protein-coding transcripts is an intricate process that involves numerous regulation steps. The complexity of these steps provides the means for multilayered control of gene expression. READ MORE

  4. 7. A Study in RNA Bioinformatics : Identification, Prediction and Analysis

    Author : Eva Freyhult; David Ardell; Robert Giegerich; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; RNA; bioinformatics; secondary structure; structure prediction; dynamic programming; energy landscape; homology search; sequence logo; tRNA; Bioinformatics; Bioinformatik;

    Abstract : Research in the last few decades has revealed the great capacity of the RNA molecule. RNA, which previously was assumed to play a main role only as an intermediate in the translation of genes to proteins, is today known to play many important roles in the cell in addition to that as a messenger RNA and transfer RNA, including the ability to catalyze reactions and gene regulations at various levels.

  5. 8. DNA and RNA base analogue FRET - from fluorophore design to biochemical applications

    Author : Moa Sandberg Wranne; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; adenine analogue; Fluorescent base analogue; FRET; thymine analogue; netropsin; fluorescence; DNA; RNA; Z-RNA;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on the development and use of fluorescent base analogues (FBAs). They are important tools in research concerning nucleic acids structure, dynamics and interactions. READ MORE

  6. 9. CopA and CopT: The Perfect RNA Couple

    Author : Jacoba G. Slagter-Jäger; Gerhart Wagner; Wolfgang Nellen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Microbiology; antisense RNA; plasmid; U-turn; four-way junction; RNA-RNA interaction; Hfq; Mikrobiologi; Microbiology; Mikrobiologi; mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Abstract : Antisense RNAs regulate gene expression in many bacterial systems. The best characterized examples are from prokaryotic accessory elements such as phages, plasmids and transposons. Many of these antisense RNAs have been identified as plasmid copy number regulators where they regulate the replication frequency of the plasmid by negative feedback. READ MORE

  7. 10. iLocks: a novel tool for RNA assays with improved specificity

    Author : Tomasz Krzywkowski; Mats Nilsson; Gunnar von Heijne; Weng-Onn Lui; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; RNA; miRNA; non-coding RNA; padlock probes; rolling circle amplification; invader; single cell; in situ; adenovirus; virology; diagnostics; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Abstract : The Central Dogma of molecular biology describes a framework for how genetic information is transferred in cells, placing RNA as a messenger between DNA and translated proteins. During the last years, interest in RNA research has grown tremendously due to the increasing understanding and recognition of the importance of RNA in regulation of gene expression, biochemical catalysis, and genome integrity surveillance.
