Extensive diversity in RNA termination and regulation revealed by transcriptome mapping for the Lyme pathogen Borrelia burgdorferi
Global identification of 3′ ends Initial computational predictions of open reading frames (ORFs) in B. burgdorferi38 overlooked elements such as mRNA boundaries, sRNA genes, and translation initiation from non-canonical start codons. B. burgdorferi transcription start sites (TSSs) and 5′ processed RNA ends were previously detected using 5′RNA-seq37. Here we sought…
SMCHD1 and LRIF1 converge at the FSHD-associated D4Z4 repeat and LRIF1 promoter yet display different modes of action
Somatic loss of LRIF1 or SMCHD1 in control myocytes leads to insufficient DUX4 derepression We have previously shown that SMCHD1 and LRIF1L aid in transcriptional repression of the D4Z4 repeat as short-term depletion of either LRIF1L or SMCHD1 in muscle cells having a D4Z4 repeat of <20 units on a…
