Following the observation of the selection for long and GC-rich transcripts in microRNA target gene prediction, we noticed that sets of transcripts only selected by the length and GC content of their 3' UTR also yield similar results in gene expression and GO annotation.
Molecular studies of the expression of this region identified an A/U rich transcript of ~ 500 nucleotides in length [58], a mapping that was later refined to ~ 420 nucleotides [59].
Skewed ribonucleoside triphosphate pools (highest in ATP) [ 30] may select for a high level of A (purine) in ribosomal RNA and soluble protein transcripts while the need for hydrophobicity in membrane proteins may overcome this pressure, resulting in pyrimidine-rich transcripts.
Crocidolite-treated A549 cells are rich in transcripts encoding extracellular growth factors and cytokines and intracellular regulators/mediators of transcription.
These data suggest that the stress transcriptome is very rich in transcripts beyond those coded by ORFs and rRNA components.
The Mytibase collection is rich in gene transcripts modulated in response to antigenic stimuli and represents an interesting window for looking at the mussel immunome (transcriptomes mediating the mussel response to non-self or abnormal antigens).
Clusters 1 and 4, which are also the richest in transcripts (see Supplementary Material, Table S4, for transcript content of clusters), are very different and have somewhat complementary patterns.
The data obtained is rich in gene transcripts related to disease and disease pathway, especially to immunity.
The data obtained is rich in gene transcripts related to immunity, expanding remarkably our knowledge about immune and stress-inducible genes in Galleria and providing the complete sequences of genes whose primary structure have only partially been characterized using proteomic methods.
These ESTs provide a rich sample of transcripts expressed in the pathogen inoculum, and include genes encoding proteins important for initiating the infection process.
The larval midgut transcriptome of A. glabripennis is rich in insect-derived transcripts predicted to encode cellulases, xylanases, polygalacturonases, detoxification enzymes, and enzymes that could enhance degradation of lignin biopolymers [ 20, 30].
