Small RNAs, DNA methylation and transposable elements in wheat.
Jun 30 2010
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: More than 80% of the wheat genome is composed of transposable elements (TEs). Since active TEs can move to different locations and potentially impose a significant mutational load, their expression is suppressed in the genome via small...
Dynamic roles of ion currents in early development.
Jun 30 2010
Excitable cells have the capacity to modify their electrical properties in response to different stimuli. This specific feature is due to a flux of ion currents that flow via ion channels in the plasma membrane. In all species so far studied, ion channels are...
Monitoring viral RNA in infected cells with LNA flow-FISH.
Jun 30 2010
We previously showed the feasibility of using locked nucleic acid (LNA) for flow cytometric-fluorescence in situ hybridization (LNA flow-FISH) detection of a target cellular mRNA. Here we demonstrate how the method can be used to monitor viral RNA in infected...
