Abstract excerpt
We have utilized Caenorhabditis elegans as a model to investigate the toxicity and underlying mechanism of untranslated CAG repeats in comparison to CUG repeats. Our results indicate that CAG repeats can be toxic at the RNA level in a length-dependent manner, similar to that of CUG repeats. Both...
