Context-dependent control of alternative splicing by RNA-binding proteins

XD Fu, M Ares Jr - Nature Reviews Genetics, 2014 - nature.com
Sequence-specific RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) bind to pre-mRNA to control alternative
splicing, but it is not yet possible to read the 'splicing code' that dictates splicing regulation on …

Knowledge-based analysis of microarray gene expression data by using support vector machines

…, CW Sugnet, TS Furey, M Ares Jr… - Proceedings of the …, 2000 - National Acad Sciences
We introduce a method of functionally classifying genes by using gene expression data from
DNA microarray hybridization experiments. The method is based on the theory of support …

Purification of RNA using TRIzol (TRI reagent)

DC Rio, M Ares, GJ Hannon… - Cold Spring Harbor …, 2010 - cshprotocols.cshlp.org
TRIzol solubilization and extraction is a relatively recently developed general method for
deproteinizing RNA. This method is particularly advantageous in situations where cells or …

An RNA gene expressed during cortical development evolved rapidly in humans

…, A Siepel, AD Kern, C Dehay, H Igel, M Ares Jr… - Nature, 2006 - nature.com
The developmental and evolutionary mechanisms behind the emergence of human-specific
brain features remain largely unknown. However, the recent ability to compare our genome …

A post-transcriptional regulatory switch in polypyrimidine tract-binding proteins reprograms alternative splicing in developing neurons

…, G Chawla, K Ostrow, L Shiue, M Ares… - Genes & …, 2007 - genesdev.cshlp.org
Many metazoan gene transcripts exhibit neuron-specific splicing patterns, but the developmental
control of these splicing events is poorly understood. We show that the splicing of a …

Ultraconserved elements are associated with homeostatic control of splicing regulators by alternative splicing and nonsense-mediated decay

…, L Shiue, TA Clark, JE Blume, M Ares - Genes & …, 2007 - genesdev.cshlp.org
Many alternative splicing events create RNAs with premature stop codons, suggesting that
alternative splicing coupled with nonsense-mediated decay (AS-NMD) may regulate gene …

Genomewide analysis of mRNA processing in yeast using splicing-specific microarrays

TA Clark, CW Sugnet, M Ares Jr - Science, 2002 - science.org
Introns interrupt almost every eukaryotic protein-coding gene, yet how the splicing apparatus
interprets the genome during messenger RNA (mRNA) synthesis is poorly understood. We …

[PDF][PDF] Integrative genome-wide analysis reveals cooperative regulation of alternative splicing by hnRNP proteins

…, JP Donohue, L Shiue, S Hoon, S Brenner, M Ares… - Cell reports, 2012 - cell.com
Understanding how RNA binding proteins control the splicing code is fundamental to
human biology and disease. Here, we present a comprehensive study to elucidate how …

RBPmap: a web server for mapping binding sites of RNA-binding proteins

I Paz, I Kosti, M Ares Jr, M Cline… - Nucleic acids …, 2014 - academic.oup.com
Regulation of gene expression is executed in many cases by RNA-binding proteins (RBPs)
that bind to mRNAs as well as to non-coding RNAs. RBPs recognize their RNA target via …

Genome-wide bioinformatic and molecular analysis of introns in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

M Spingola, L Grate, D Haussler, M Ares - Rna, 1999 - cambridge.org
Introns have typically been discovered in an ad hoc fashion: introns are found as a gene is
characterized for other reasons. As complete eukaryotic genome sequences become …
