Scans of the <i>MYC</i> mRNA reveal multiple stable secondary structures—including a 3′ UTR motif, conserved across vertebrates, that can affect gene expression
2019-03-02
Abstract excerpt
The MYC gene encodes a human transcription factor and proto-oncogene that is dysregulated in over half of all known cancers. To better understand potential post-transcriptional regulatory features affecting MYC expression, we analyzed secondary structure in the MYC mRNA using a program that is optimized for finding small locally-folded motifs with a high propensity for function. This was accomplished by calcula...
