• 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) ...
    • Extreme genome scrambling in marine planktonic Oikopleura dioica cryptic species 

      Plessy, Charles; Mansfield, Michael J.; Bliznina, Aleksandra; Masunaga, Aki; West, Charlotte; Tan, Yongkai; Liu, Andrew W.; Grašič, Jan; Río Pisula, María Sara del; Sánchez-Serna, Gaspar; Fabrega-Torrus, Marc; Ferrández-Roldán, Alfonso; Roncalli, Vittoria; Navratilova, Pavla; Thompson, Eric Malcolm; Onuma, Takeshi; Nishida, Hiroki; Cañestro, Cristian; Luscombe, Nicholas M. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      Genome structural variations within species are rare. How selective constraints preserve gene order and chromosome structure is a central question in evolutionary biology that remains unsolved. Our sequencing of several ...
    • 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 ...
