Revised genomic structure of the human ghrelin gene and identification of novel exons, alternative splice variants and natural antisense transcriptsInge Seim
Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation, Queensland University of Technology, Kelvin Grove, Queensland, Australia
BMC Genomics 8:298. 2007..The availability of bioinformatic tools enabling comparative analysis and the finalisation of the human genome prompted us to re-examine the genomic structure of the ghrelin locus...
Complex organisation and structure of the ghrelin antisense strand gene GHRLOS, a candidate non-coding RNA geneInge Seim
Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation, Queensland University of Technology, Kelvin Grove, Queensland, Australia
BMC Mol Biol 9:95. 2008..We previously identified a gene on the opposite strand of the ghrelin gene, ghrelinOS (GHRLOS), which spans the promoter and untranslated regions of the ghrelin gene (GHRL). Here we further characterise GHRLOS...
