Niche condition determines the chronological aging speed of Schizosaccharomyc...
In order to explore the whole quiescence development process during the nitrogen starvation at the molecular level, we performed RNA-seq on nitrogen-starved cells under four... -
Long read sequencing of nascent RNA from S. cerevisiae and S. pombe
Long read SMRT cDNA sequencing of nascent RNA from exponentially growing S. cerevisiae and S. pombe cells was employed to obtain transcription elongation and splicing... -
Transcriptomic comparison of 11 species of yeast in rich media and oxidative ...
The objective of this experiment was to study the mechanism of de novo gene birth in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. While the model organism S. cerevisiae has one of the highest... -
Poly(A)-tail profiling reveals an embryonic switch in translational control
Poly(A) tails enhance the stability and translation of most eukaryotic messenger RNAs, but difficulties in globally measuring poly(A)-tail lengths have impeded greater... -
The evolution, evolvability, and engineering of gene regulatory DNA [RNA-seq]
Here, we used RNA-seq to quantify expression conservation across many Ascomycete yeasts. Overall design: We used strand-specific RNA-seq (dUTP) to quantify mRNA expression in... -
The chromatin remodeler Ino80 mediates alternative RNAPII pausing site determ...
Promoter-proximal pausing of RNAPII is a critical step in early transcription elongation to precisely regulate gene expression. Here, we observed evidence of promoter-proximal... -
Acute condensin depletion causes genome decompaction without altering the lev...
Condensins are broadly conserved chromosome organizers that function in chromatin compaction and transcriptional regulation, but to what extent these two functions are linked... -
Small RNA sequencing of the 8 to 30-nucleotide window from various samples
RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) protocols and bioinformatic pipelines are designed to streamline downstream analyses on sequences believed to be the most important. Here, we have... -
A phylogenetic framework to study the evolution of transcriptional regulatory...
Comparative expression analysis of HOG1 KOs during osmotic stress in the ascomycete yeasts Overall design: Gene expression was measured in KO strains as well as WT strains of... -
High-resolution quantitative profiling of tRNA abundance and modification sta...
Measurements of cellular tRNA abundance are hampered by pervasive blocks to cDNA synthesis at modified nucleosides and the extensive similarity among tRNA genes. We overcome... -
Mapping polymerase usage by tracking ribonucleotide incorporation (HydEn-seq)...
We devised and improved on our hydrolytic end sequencing (HydEn-seq) that mapping ribonucleotide incorporation in genome and used this method to track DNA replicative polymerase... -
RNA polymerase II dynamics and mRNA stability feedback scale mRNA amounts wit...
A fundamental feature of cellular growth is that total protein and RNA amounts increase with cell size to keep concentrations approximately constant. A key component to this is... -
Transcriptional and chromatin-based partitioning mechanisms uncouple protein ...
Biosynthesis scales with cell size such that protein concentrations generally remain constant as cells grow. As an exception, synthesis of the cell-cycle inhibitor Whi5... -
Spliceosome profiling visualizes the operations of a dynamic RNP in vivo at n...
Tools to understand how the spliceosome functions in vivo have lagged behind advances in its structural biology. We describe methods to globally profile spliceosome-bound... -
Nucleosomal signatures impose nucleosome positioning in coding and non-coding...
In the yeast genome, a large proportion of nucleosomes occupy well-defined positions. While the contribution of chromatin remodelers and DNA binding proteins to maintain this...
