Alternative splicing (AS) generates extensive transcriptomic and proteomic complexity. However, the functions of species- and lineage-specific splice variants are largely unknown. Here, we show that mammalian-specific skipping of exon 9 of PTBP1 alters its splicing regulatory activities and affects ...
By using high-density oligonucleotide arrays, we profiled gene expression in reward-related brain regions of rats that developed escalated cocaine intake after extended access to cocaine (6 h per day). Rats allowed restricted daily access to cocaine (only 1 h) that displayed a stable level of cocain...
Chromosomal instability (CIN) is the hallmark of colorectal adenoma to carcinoma progression in 85% of cases, with 20q gain as the most prominent aberration. Yet, the oncogenes at this chromosomal gain are still largely unknown. Here, we aimed to identify oncogenes at 20q involved in colorectal aden...
