Background
Covariance models (CMs) are probabilistic models of RNA secondary structure, analogous to profile hidden Markov models of linear sequence. The dynamic programming algorithm for aligning a CM to an RNA sequence of length N is O(N 3) in memory. This is only practical for small RNAs. 相似文献2.
Background
Preparation of RNA free from DNA is a critical step before performing RT-PCR assay. Total RNA isolated from several sources, including those obtained from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, using routine methodologies are frequently contaminated with DNA, which can give rise to amplification products that mimic the amplicons expected from the RNA target. 相似文献3.

Background
The interpretability of microarray data can be affected by sample quality. To systematically explore how RNA quality affects microarray assay performance, a set of rat liver RNA samples with a progressive change in RNA integrity was generated by thawing frozen tissue or by ex vivo incubation of fresh tissue over a time course. 相似文献4.
Crude extracts of bacterially expressed dsRNA can be used to protect plants against virus infections 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Background
Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is a potent initiator of gene silencing in a diverse group of organisms that includes plants, Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila and mammals. We have previously shown and patented that mechanical inoculation of in vitro-transcribed dsRNA derived from viral sequences specifically prevents virus infection in plants. The approach required the in vitro synthesis of large amounts of RNA involving high cost and considerable labour. 相似文献5.

Background
Rifampin is a first line antituberculosis drug active against bacilli in logarithmic and stationary phase, which interferes with RNA synthesis by binding to bacterial RNA polymerase. Tubercle bacilli achieve resistance to rifampin by accumulation of mutations in a short-81 bp region of the rpoB gene. Among many mutations identified in the rpoB gene, few were verified by molecular genetic methods as responsible for resistance to rifampin (RMP). 相似文献6.

Background
Φ8 is a bacteriophage containing a genome of three segments of double-stranded RNA inside a polyhedral capsid enveloped in a lipid-containing membrane. Plus strand RNA binds and is packaged by empty procapsids. Whereas Φ6, another member of the Cystoviridae, shows high stringency, serial dependence and precision in its genomic packaging in vitro and in vivo, Φ8 packaging is more flexible. Unique sequences (pac) near the 5' ends of plus strands are necessary and sufficient for Φ6 genomic packaging and the RNA binding sites are located on P1, the major structural protein of the procapsid. 相似文献9.
Background
RNA silencing occurs in a broad range of organisms. Although its ancestral function is probably related to the genome defense mechanism against repetitive selfish elements, it has been found that RNA silencing regulates different cellular processes such as gene expression and chromosomal segregation. In Neurospora crassa, a RNA silencing mechanism, called quelling, acts to repress the expression of transgenes and transposons, but until now no other cellular functions have been shown to be regulated by this mechanism. 相似文献10.

Background
Members of the legume genus Lupinus exude phloem 'spontaneously' from incisions made to the vasculature. This feature was exploited to document macromolecules present in exudate of white lupin (Lupinus albus [L.] cv Kiev mutant), in particular to identify proteins and RNA molecules, including microRNA (miRNA). 相似文献11.
Background
Pseudouridine (Ψ) is an abundant modified nucleoside in RNA and a number of studies have shown that the presence of Ψ affects RNA structure and function. The positions of Ψ in spliceosomal small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) have been determined for a number of species but not for the snRNAs from Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans), a popular experimental model system of development. 相似文献12.
Background
PL10 homologs exist in a wide range of eukaryotes from yeast, plants to animals. They share a DEAD motif and belong to the DEAD-box polypeptide 3 (DDX3) subfamily with a major role in RNA metabolism. The lineage-specific expression patterns and various genomic structures and locations of PL10 homologs indicate these homologs have an interesting evolutionary history. 相似文献13.

Background
A rapid microtiter plate based sandwich hybridization assay was developed for detection and quantification of single RNA species using magnetic beads. Following solution hybridization target RNA molecules were collected by biotin-streptavidin affinity binding and detected by fluorescence signal generated by alkaline phosphatase. The 18S rRNA and SUC2 mRNA of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were used as model RNA target molecules. 相似文献14.

Background
There is evidence from previous works that bacterial secondary metabolism may be stimulated by genetic manipulation of RNA polymerase (RNAP). In this study we have used rifampicin selection as a strategy to genetically improve the erythromycin producer Saccharopolyspora erythraea. 相似文献16.
Analysis of key genes and signaling pathways involved in Helicobacter pylori‐associated gastric cancer based on The Cancer Genome Atlas database and RNA sequencing data 下载免费PDF全文

Background
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is associated with the development of gastric cancer, although the mechanism is unclear. Herein, this study aimed to clarify the key genes and signaling pathways involved in H. pylori pathogenesis based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and RNA sequencing analysis.Materials and Methods
Forty‐nine gastric cancer samples (16 with H. pylori and 33 without H. pylori) and 35 cancer‐adjacent normal samples from TCGA database were analyzed by bioinformatics. The differentially expressed genes between H. pylori‐positive and H. pylori‐negative patients were verified in 18 gastric cancer (GC) samples (9 with H. pylori and 9 without H. pylori), which were analyzed using RNA sequencing. Survival analysis was carried out to explore associations between the differentially expressed genes and prognosis. Bioinformatics analysis was performed to determine the signaling pathways associated with H. pylori.Results
The baseline level of clinical features from TCGA database and RNA sequencing showed no differences between the H. pylori‐positive and H. pylori‐negative GC groups (P > 0.05). TP53 was shown to be upregulated in the H. pylori‐positive group in both TCGA database and RNA sequencing data, which also showed higher expression in the GC tissues than in adjacent normal tissues (P < 0.05). CCDC151, CHRNB2, GMPR2, HDGFRP2, and VSTM2L were shown to be downregulated in the H. pylori‐positive group by both TCGA database and RNA sequencing, which also showed lower expression in the GC tissues than in adjacent normal tissues (P < 0.05). GC patients with low expression levels of HDGFRP2 had a poor prognosis (P < 0.05). Thirty‐three signaling pathways and 10 biological processes were found to be positively associated with H. pylori infection (P < 0.05, FDR < 0.05).Conclusions
These results indicate that some genes (TP53, CCDC151, CHRNB2, GMPR2, HDGFRP2, VSTM2L) and previously unidentified signaling pathways (eg, the Hippo signaling pathway) might play an important role in H. pylori‐associated GC. 相似文献17.

Background
Given its sequenced genome and efficient systemic RNA interference response, the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum is a model organism well suited for reverse genetics. Even so, there is a pressing need for forward genetic analysis to escape the bias inherent in candidate gene approaches. 相似文献18.

Background
Ribosomal RNA molecules are widely used for phylogenetic and in situ identification of bacteria. Nevertheless, their use to distinguish microorganisms within a species is often restricted by the high degree of sequence conservation and limited probe accessibility to the target in fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). To overcome these limitations, we examined the use of tmRNA for in situ identification. In E. coli, this stable 363 nucleotides long RNA is encoded by the ssrA gene, which is involved in the degradation of truncated proteins. 相似文献19.
