Enhancers in the Peril lincRNA locus regulate distant but not local genes. Published: December, 2018 Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Recently, it has become clear that some promoters function as long-range regulators of gene expression. However, direct and quantitative assessment of enhancer activity at long intergenic noncoding RNA (lincRNA) or mRNA gene bodies has... Read more » Tags Antibody
Can Mitochondrial DNA be CRISPRized: Pro and Contra. Published: December, 2018 Abstract:
Mitochondria represent a chimera of macromolecules encoded either in the organellar genome, mtDNA, or in the nuclear one. If the pathway of protein targeting to different sub-compartments of mitochondria was relatively well studied, import of smal... Read more » Tags AntibodyCRISPR Cas9 (C15200203)
Genomic integrity of ground-state pluripotency. Published: December, 2018 Abstract:
Pluripotent cells appear to be in a transient state during early development. These cells have the capability to transition into embryonic stem cells (ESCs). It has been reported that mouse pluripotent cells cultivated in chemically defined media ... Read more » Tags Antibody
TET2 inhibits tumorigenesis of breast cancer cells by regulating caspase-4. Published: November, 2018 Abstract:
Epigenetic regulators have been shown to influence breast cancer progression. However, the detailed mechanism by which TET2 plays the suppressive role in tumorigenesis remains not completely understood. We employed RT-qPCR and westernblot to exami... Read more » Tags Antibody
TRPS1 Is a Lineage-Specific Transcriptional Dependency in Breast Cancer. Published: October, 2018 Abstract:
Perturbed epigenomic programs play key roles in tumorigenesis, and chromatin modulators are candidate therapeutic targets in various human cancer types. To define singular and shared dependencies on DNA and histone modifiers and transcription fact... Read more » Tags Antibody
Centromeres License the Mitotic Condensation of Yeast Chromosome Arms. Published: October, 2018 Abstract:
During mitosis, chromatin condensation shapes chromosomes as separate, rigid, and compact sister chromatids to facilitate their segregation. Here, we show that, unlike wild-type yeast chromosomes, non-chromosomal DNA circles and chromosomes lackin... Read more » Tags Antibody
