The eukaryotic transcription apparatus synthesizes a staggering diversity of RNA molecules.
The labour of nuclear gene transcription is, therefore, divided among multiple DNA …

A key step in retrieving the information stored in the complex genomes of eukaryotes
involves the identification of transcription units and, more specifically, the recognition of …

The 7S particle of Xenopus laevis oocytes contains 5S RNA and a 40‐K protein which is
required for 5S RNA transcription in vitro. Proteolytic digestion of the protein in the particle …

Contemporary views on the structure and function of chromatin are presented and the
history of the development of these ideas as well as the nature of the nucleic acid and …

Extreme codon bias is seen for the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes for the fermentative
alcohol dehydrogenase isozyme I (ADH-I) and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate …

GLOBIN GENES Hemoglobin is composed of heme residues and two chains each of a-like
and, B-like globin polypeptides. Each type of chain is encoded by a family of genes under …

Double-stranded RNA-mediated interference (RNAi) has recently emerged as a powerful
reverse genetic tool to silence gene expression in multiple organisms including plants …

Examples of both the 410 and 500 bp size classes of repeating units containing wheat 5S
rRNA genes have been cloned in plasmid pBR322 and sequenced. The structural genes …

The past five years have offered a virtual explosion of information in the field of eukaryotic
gene regulation. The natural anticipation that a considerable degree of regulation would be …

We have analyzed the DNA sequences required for termination of Xenopus 5s RNA
synthesis in vitro. Termination occurs within clusters of four or more consecutive T residues …
