Published in Biotech Week, March 21st, 2012

2012 MAR 21 -- According to the authors of a study from Chongqing, People's Republic of China, "Natural antisense transcripts (NATs) are naturally widespread and have very important functions in regulating expression of their target genes."

"In this report, we identified a novel NAT, designated mucD-AS, transcribed from the opposite strand of mucD gene locus, which has a pivotal function in regulating the biosynthesis of alginate. For the biotechnological and medical significance in the study of alginate biosynthesis, we investigated the effect of mucD-AS on mucD expression and alginate biosynthesis, and confirmed mucD-AS can induce biofilm formation of P....
