Oligonucleotides and mRNA Therapeutics
Two important classes of therapeutics based on nucleic acids are synthetic oligonucleotides and mRNA generated by in vitro transcription (IVT).... -
DYNLL1 transcript abundance decreases during oocyte and follicular growth and is associated with fertility in mice
DNA repair efficiency is an important determinant of oocyte quality and female fertility. DYNLL1 (Dynein light chain 1) plays a part in DNA...

Selection on synonymous sites: the unwanted transcript hypothesis
Although translational selection to favour codons that match the most abundant tRNAs is not readily observed in humans, there is nonetheless...

Enhancing the immunogenicity of lipid-nanoparticle mRNA vaccines by adjuvanting the ionizable lipid and the mRNA
To elicit optimal immune responses, messenger RNA vaccines require intracellular delivery of the mRNA and the careful use of adjuvants. Here we...

Nuclear mRNA Export Measurement Using FISH in iPSC-Derived Neurons
Nucleocytoplasmic transport (NCT) across the nuclear envelope plays a critical role in maintaining cellular homeostasis. Impaired NCT has been shown... -
2020: The Triumph of Anti-Covid mRNA Vaccines
Starting in the fall of 2019, the story of mRNA vaccines becomes closely tied to the emergence of the coronavirus pandemic. This is the “tip of the... -
The + 3010/C single nucleotide polymorphism (rs1710) at the HLA-G 3′ untranslated region is associated with a short transcript exhibiting a deletion of 92 nucleotides
The physiological expression of HLA-G is mainly observed in the placenta, playing an essential role in maternal–fetal tolerance. Among the HLA-G mRNA...

The mRNA and the New Vaccines
The messenger RNA molecules provide the order in which the amino acids are linked together, via a register of three-nucleotide sequences (codons).... -
HSV-1 latency-associated transcript miR-H3 and miR-H4 target STXBP1 and GABBR2 genes
During latent infection, the HSV-1 virus generates only a single transcript, LAT, which encodes six miRNAs. The GABAergic pathway signaling system is...

Appraisal of Some of the Key Postulates Underlying mRNA Vaccines
As described in the introduction, key foundational assumptions (Fig. 1.1 ) have guided the approval and... -
Risk SNP in a transcript of RP11-638I2.4 increases lncRNA–YY1 interaction and pancreatic cancer susceptibility
Tens of thousands of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified through RNA-seq analysis, but the biological and pathological significance...
