The use of alternative polyadenylation sites is common and affects the post-transcriptional fate of mRNA, including its stability, localization, and translation. Here we present a method for genome-wide and strand-specific mapping of poly(A) sites and quantification of RNA levels at unprecedented ef...
The S. pombe orthologue of the human PAXT complex, Mtl1-Red1 Core (MTREC), is an eleven-subunit complex which targets cryptic unstable transcripts (CUTs) to the nuclear RNA exosome for degradation. It encompasses the canonical poly(A) polymerase Pla1, responsible for polyadenylation of nascent RNA t...
The aim of the current study was to investigate the response of in vitro differentiated trout macrophages, a primary cell culture system widely used in fish immunology research, to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and to the analog viral ds(RNA) Poly I:C. To that end we have used a salmonid-specific microar...
The focus of this study was to investigate the response of cultured rainbow trout erythrocytes to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and to the analog viral dsRNA Poly(I:C) using a salmonid-specific microarray platform enriched with immune-related genes. Although the transcriptomic response measured as the to...
Erythrocytes represent the most abundant cell type of the bloodstream in all vertebrates. The principal feature that differenciates erythrocytes of non-mammals is that unlike mammals they mantain the nucleus in their terminal differentiation. While the main function associated to erythrocytes is the...
The Susan G. Komen for the Cure® Tissue Bank at the IU Simon Cancer Center [www.komentissuebank.iu.edu] (KTB) was established expressly for the prospective collection of normal, healthy breast tissue from volunteer donors. Blood is als...
