From the earliest comparisons of RNA production with steady-state levels, it has been clear
that cells transcribe more RNA than they accumulate, implying the existence of active RNA …

The ultimate goal in the study of gene expression in oocytes is to understand the special
characteristics of the genetic program that confer totipotency on the egg. Totipotency …

The new third edition of Gene Activity in Early Development reflects the ten years of
technological progress since the last edition. Providing a unique blend of classical and …

We have identified a nuclear pathway that rapidly degrades unspliced pre-mRNAs in yeast.
This involves 3′→ 5′ degradation by the exosome complex and 5′→ 3′ degradation by …

The possibility that animals learn a “developmentally stable strategy”(DSS)(Dawkins, 1980)
is an alternative in biological game theory to the idea that evolutionarily stable strategies …

Whereas it is acknowledged that the C: N: P stoichiometry of consumers and their resources
affects both the structure and the function of food webs, and eventually influences broad …

The nucleolus had consistently attracted the attention of investigators in the fields of cell
biology and pathology. Because of its ubiquitous presence in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells …

The temperature‐sensitive mutation, dob1‐1, was identified in a screen for dependence on
overexpression of the yeast translation initiation factor eIF4B (Tif3p). Dob1p is an essential …

Large contrasts are observed between the messenger RNA populations of different tissues
and of embryos at different stages of development. Nevertheless, coding sequences for …

Yeast RNA polymerase II holoenzymes have been described that consist of RNA
polymerase II, a subset of general transcription factors, and nine SRB regulatory proteins …
