BACKGROUND
An inverted region on chromosome 17 has been previously linked to many Pick complex diseases. Due to the inversion, an exact causal locus has been difficult to identify, but the… (More)
At physiological Mg2+ concentrations, the catalytic core of the bI5 group I intron does not fold into its native structure. In contrast, as judged by the global size, this RNA undergoes structural… (More)

Obesity is a highly heritable condition and a risk factor for other diseases, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and cancer. Recently, genomic copy number variation… (More)
Native folding and splicing by the Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitochondrial bI5 group I intron RNA is facilitated by both the S. cerevisiae CBP2 and Neurospora crassa CYT-18 protein cofactors. Both… (More)
Most large RNAs achieve their active, native structures only as complexes with one or more cofactor proteins. By varying the Mg2+ concentration, the catalytic core of the bI5 group I intron RNA can… (More)
BACKGROUND
A low level of response to alcohol during an individual's early experience with alcohol is associated with an increase risk of alcoholism. A family-based genome-wide linkage analysis using… (More)
