Talk:Internal ribosome entry site
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not sure if anyone will be reading this but it would be good to add some examples and links to the viruses that do contain a IRES. one such example would be the picornavirius and flavivirus. Shall I be so bold as to make the addition. --Amelvin 18:11, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
I think it wound be good to add a list of genes and viruses that contain an IRES. To help you find examples of IRES you could take a look through the Category:Cis-regulatory RNA elements list. Best of luck with this.Alexbateman 12:48, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
From reading the article it is my impression that it is not known whether normal cells contain internal ribosome entry sites or not. If in fact I misinterpreted this, then please re-write the article to clarify the meaning. 69.140.164.142 04:11, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Merging
I don't think it is good to merge the BiP IRES entry into this main one. I see a table has now been added listing the various IRES known and this links to the specific entries. We intend to start to expand out those specific entries like the BiP IRES as part of the Wikipedia:WikiProject RNA. Alexbateman 08:18, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
- Agreed, pages should remain separate.--DO11.10 15:43, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
