The authors' demonstration that impaired olfactory perception reduces caterpillar performance and increases susceptibility to parasitism is solid. These findings highlight the ecological significance ...

Alternative splicing (AS) of pre-mRNA plays a crucial role in tissue-specific gene regulation, with disease implications due to splicing defects. Predicting and manipulating AS can therefore uncover ...

Figure 1: Dnmt1 actively represses transcription using sequences that overlap the HRX repression domain. Figure 2: Dnmt1 686–812 represses transcription in a TSA-sensitive manner and has the ...

Design and results mRNA expression of 17 nutrient receptors and EEC mediators was assessed by quantitative PCR and found throughout mouse and human gut epithelium. Many species similarities emerged, ...

Equal amounts of total RNA were then reverse-transcribed, and cDNA was subjected to real-time quantitative (q)PCR (Westburg, Leusden, The Netherlands) or to micro-array analysis. Details on real-time ...
