Gene clusters and polycistronic transcription in eukaryotes.

Blumenthal T.

Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Denver 80262, USA. Tom.Blumenthal@uchsc.edu

Sometimes genes are arranged nonrandomly on the chromosomes of eukaryotes. This review considers instances of gene clusters in which two genes or more are expressed from a single promoter. This includes cases in which a polycistronic pre-mRNA is processed to make monocistronic mRNAs in nematodes, as well as isolated examples of polycistronic mRNAs found in mammals, flies, and perhaps plants.

All links from this record

  • Related Articles

    Calculated set of PubMed citations closely related to the selected article(s) retrieved using a word weight algorithm. Related articles are displayed in ranked order from most to least relevant, with the “linked from” citation displayed first.

  • Gene

    Gene records that cite the current articles. Citations in Gene are added manually by NCBI or imported from outside public resources.

  • HomoloGene

    HomoloGene clusters of homologous genes and sequences that cite the current articles. These are references on the Gene and sequence records in the HomoloGene entry.

  • Nucleotide (RefSeq)

    NCBI nucleotide Reference Sequences (RefSeqs) that are cited in the current articles, included in the corresponding Gene Reference into Function, or that include the PubMed articles as references.

  • Nucleotide (Weighted)

    Nucleotide records associated with the current articles through the Gene database. These are the related sequences on the Gene record that are added manually by NCBI.

  • Protein (RefSeq)

    NCBI protein Reference Sequences (RefSeqs) that are cited in the current articles, included in the corresponding Gene Reference into Function, or that include the PubMed articles as references.

  • Protein (Weighted)

    Protein records associated with the current articles through related Gene database records. These are the related sequences on the Gene record that are added manually by NCBI.

  • Substance (MeSH Keyword)

    PubChem chemical substance (submitted) records that are classified under the same Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) controlled vocabulary as the current articles.

  • Taxonomy via GenBank

    Taxonomy records associated with the current articles through taxonomic information on related molecular database records (Nucleotide, Protein, Gene, SNP, Structure).

  • UniGene

    UniGene clusters of expressed sequences that are associated with the current articles through references on the clustered sequence records and related Gene records.

  • GEO Profiles

    Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) Profiles of molecular abundance data. The current articles are references on the Gene record associated with the GEO profile.

  • Cited in PMC

    Full-text articles in the PubMed Central Database that cite the current articles.
