• Ancestrally Duplicated Conserved Noncoding Element Suggests Dual Regulatory Roles of HOTAIR in cis and trans 

      Nepal, Chirag; Taranta, Andrzej; Hadzhiev, Yavor; Pundhir, Sachin; Mydel, Piotr Mateusz; Lenhard, Boris; Müller, Ferenc; Andersen, Jesper B. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-04)
      HOTAIR was proposed to regulate either HoxD cluster genes in trans or HoxC cluster genes in cis, a mechanism that remains unclear. We have identified a 32-nucleotide conserved noncoding element (CNE) as HOTAIR ancient ...
    • Dynamic regulation of the transcription initiation landscape at single nucleotide resolution during vertebrate embryogenesis 

      Nepal, Chirag; Hadzhiev, Yavor; Previti, A. Christopher; Haberle, Vanja; Li, Nan; Takahashi, Hazuki; Suzuki, Ana Maria; Sheng, Ying; Abdelhamid, Rehab; Anand, Santosh; Gehrig, Jochen; Akalin, Altuna; Kockx, Christel E.M.; van der Sloot, Antoine A.J.; van Ijcken, Wilfred F.J.; Armant, Olivier; Rastegar, Sepand; Watson, Craig; Strähle, Uwe; Stupka, Elia; Carninci, Piero; Lenhard, Boris; Müller, Ferenc (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)
      Spatiotemporal control of gene expression is central to animal development. Core promoters represent a previously unanticipated regulatory level by interacting with cis-regulatory elements and transcription initiation in ...

      Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) is a large, cold-adapted teleost that sustains long-standing commercial fisheries and incipient aquaculture. Here we present the genome sequence of Atlantic cod, showing evidence for complex ...
    • Regulatory mechanisms of non-coding RNAs during zebrafish embryogenesis 

      Nepal, Chirag (Doctoral thesis, 2013-05-03)
      For many years, RNAs were thought to be intermediate products between DNA and protein. The discovery of RNA interference (RNAi), a regulatory process that uses small non-coding RNAs to regulate gene expression at the ...
