  1. 6. Regulation of gene expression by non-protein-coding RNAs

    Författare :Mohammad Ali Faghihi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The human genome sequencing projects revealed that the human genome contains over 3 billion DNA base pairs, but only 20,000 25,000 protein-coding genes. In fact, only about 1.2% of the genome codes for proteins. LÄS MER

  2. 7. All Roads Lead to the Non-Coding RNome : Evolution of Multicellularity and Host Response to Bacterial Infection

    Författare :Jonas Kjellin; Fredrik Söderbom; Jonathan Chubb; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ncRNA; Dictyostelia; miRNA; Class I RNA; host-pathogen interaction; Biologi med inriktning mot mikrobiologi; Biology with specialization in Microbiology;

    Sammanfattning : The ability to control gene expression is fundamental for all living organisms. Therefore, a large variety of regulatory mechanisms exist in each cell which are essential for e.g. developmental processes and to quickly adapt to different cellular stresses such as infection.

  3. 8. Epigenetic Regulation by Noncoding RNA

    Författare :Tanmoy Mondal; Chandrasekhar Kanduri; Jérôme Cavaillé; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Genomic Imprinting; Noncoding RNA; Epigenetics; DNA methylation; Biology with specialization in Molecular Biology; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylärbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : High throughput transcriptomic analyses have realized us with the fact that eukaryotic genome encodes thousands of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) with unknown function. In my thesis, I sought to address epigenetic regulation of transcription by ncRNA using the Kcnq1 imprinted cluster as a model system. LÄS MER

  4. 9. Non-protein-coding RNA : Transcription and regulation of ribosomal RNA

    Författare :Stefanie Böhm; Ann-Kristin Östlund Farrants; Brian McStay; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ribosomal RNA; non-coding RNA; ribosomal genes; rDNA gene; B-WICH; chromatin remodelling; histone modification; Cell Biology; cellbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Cell growth and proliferation are processes in the cell that must be tightly regulated. Transcription of ribosomal RNA and ribosomal biogenesis are directly linked to cell growth and proliferation, since the ribosomal RNA encodes for the majority of transcription in a cell and ribosomal biogenesis influences directly the number of proteins that are synthesized.

  5. 10. Characterization of non-coding RNAs in cancer

    Författare :Per Johnsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : While originally though to only code for proteins, it now stands clear that RNA is a multifunctional molecule involved in a great variety of molecular processes. Recent advances in genome-wide platforms have revealed underappreciated roles of non-protein coding RNAs (ncRNAs). LÄS MER
