Nature 498, 511–515 doi:; DOI: 10.1038/nature12209; published online May 02 2013 Nature 498, 516–520 doi:; DOI: 10.1038/nature12210; published online May 02 2013 Recent reports established transcription of enhancer-derived RNAs (eRNAs), while the evidence for their functional significance remained mostly speculative. Two recent reports published in (Lam et al, 2013; Li et al, 2013) offer the first functional evidence for eRNA transcripts. These analyses further reveal an unexpected level of specificity in the regulation of adjacent mRNAs by eRNAs.

The nuclear receptor, farnesoid X receptor (FXR/NR1H4), is increasingly recognized as a promising drug target for metabolic diseases, including nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Protein-coding genes regulated by FXR are well known, but whether FXR also acts through regulation of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), which vastly outnumber protein-coding genes, remains unknown. Utilizing RNA-seq and global run-on sequencing (GRO-seq) analyses in mouse liver, we found that FXR activation affects the expression of many RNA transcripts from chromatin regions bearing enhancer features.

Enhancer-derived RNAs (eRNAs) play critical roles in diverse biological processes by facilitating their target gene expression. However, the abundance and function of eRNAs in early embryos are not clear. Here, we present a comprehensive eRNA atlas by systematically integrating publicly available datasets of mouse early embryos.

Background: Risk stratification and personalized care are crucial in managing osteosarcoma due to its complexity and heterogeneity. However, current prognostic prediction using clinical variables has limited accuracy. Thus, this study aimed to explore potential molecular biomarkers to improve prognostic assessment.
