Example sentences for: rnas

How can you use “rnas” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • The identification of functional non-coding sequences, such as untranslated regions (UTRs), genes for non-protein-coding RNAs, and cis -regulatory elements, poses an even more difficult problem for comprehensive genome annotation, as the rules governing their structure and function remain more elusive.

  • This silencing pathway uses short RNAs produced by Dicer and other RNAi components to direct methylation of DNA-associated proteins (histones), thus generating condensed, transcriptionally silent chromosome regions (heterochromatin) (see Figure 1).

  • To explore these issues, we used dsRNAi to reduce the levels of Arr and DFz2 RNAs in S2 cells in which Wg signaling was stimulated, since others have shown that the expression of endogenous genes in these cells can be eliminated or reduced by direct application of T7-transcribed dsRNAs [ 15 16 ] . Using this approach (Figure 2), we found that the previously observed, approximately 30-fold stimulation of luciferase activity by the Wg expression plasmid was reduced by 70% or more when S2 cells were co-transfected with inhibitory RNAs for Arr, DFz2, or both (Figure 2A), implying that endogenous levels of both types of receptor are required for an efficient response to Wg.

  • The largest mitochondrial genome discovered to date - of the protist Reclinomonas americana - codes for 97 gene products (67 proteins and 30 structural RNAs) in a span of 69,034 base pairs [ 2].

  • The RNase III orthologue "Dicer" (Figure 1) plays a central role in RNA interference (RNAi) by cleaving dsRNAs to ~21 bp fragments, termed small interfering(si) RNAs.
