      We report the development of OikoBase (http://oikoarrays.biology.uiowa.edu/Oiko/), a tiling array-based genome browser resource for Oikopleura dioica, a metazoan belonging to the urochordates, the closest extant group to ...
    • 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 ...
