FAMILY MEMBERS. "Interestingly, these large noncoding RNAs are found as interlacing and overlapping sense and antisense transcripts derived from introns or intergenic regions, which means that they stem from the preferred life habitat of persistent viral settlers." https://lnkd.in/euyhznh View in LinkedIn

LARGE NON-CODING RNAs. "Although recent research has tried to evaluate the enormous regulatory networks of small RNAs, the role of thousands of longer transcripts is not yet clear." https://lnkd.in/euyhznh View in LinkedIn

SO ENDS this double weekend on pine tree adaptations. This highly successful plant has adapted to harsh environments by a variety of highly sophisticated mechanisms at a biochemical and genetic level, expressed in every pine needle differently according to age and location, and adjusted seasonally. Never walk by a pine again without remembering that it is a master of its universe. View in LinkedIn

PINE ALTERNATIVE GENE PACKAGES. "Our results strongly suggest the existence of alternative gene packages involved in the same metabolic pathways contributing to essential flexibility in responses to varying environmental and/or developmental conditions." http://jxb.oxfordjournals.org/content/66/11/3113.full View in LinkedIn

EPIGENETIC INFLUENCE. "Our results strongly suggest that environmental changes modulate the transcriptome for fine regulation of the metabolome during development. According to this model, adaptive responses in maritime pine would influence the developmental programme through the maintenance of a metabolic homeostasis." http://jxb.oxfordjournals.org/content/66/11/3113.full View in LinkedIn

GENE STIMULI. "We have identified a number of gene co-expression networks in the needles of maritime pine trees, confirming that such analysis can provide valuable indications of the functions of gene clusters and their co-regulation. Unravelling these networks is highly important for understanding conifer tree development and adaptation to environmental stimuli." http://jxb.oxfordjournals.org/content/66/11/3113.full View in LinkedIn

VENTER VIEW CHALLENGED. "In his view, the question of Erwin Schrödinger What is life? has been answered. “Life is a DNA software system”, and all living things are reducible to DNA sequences. The DNA-based software creates as well as directs the more visible “hardware” of life, such as proteins and cells." https://lnkd.in/eG_TcWz View in LinkedIn

STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION. "RNA molecules can be divided into secondary structure components, which may have distinct biological functions." https://lnkd.in/erj2nzZ View in LinkedIn
