• Exonic remnants of whole-genome duplication reveal cis-regulatory function of coding exons 

      Dong, Xianjun; Navratilova, Pavla; Fredman, David; Drivenes, Øyvind; Becker, Thomas S.; Lenhard, Boris (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009-12-06)
      Using a comparative genomics approach to reconstruct the fate of genomic regulatory blocks (GRBs) and identify exonic remnants that have survived the disappearance of their host genes after whole-genome duplication (WGD) ...
    • Trans-splicing of mRNAs links gene transcription to translational control regulated by mTOR 

      Danks, Gemma Barbara; Galbiati, Heloisa; Raasholm, Martina; Torres Cleuren, Yamila Nicole; Valen, Eivind; Navratilova, Pavla; Thompson, Eric (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Background: In phylogenetically diverse organisms, the 5′ ends of a subset of mRNAs are trans-spliced with a spliced leader (SL) RNA. The functions of SL trans-splicing, however, remain largely enigmatic. Results: We ...
