Bioinformatics analysis on structural features of microRNA precursors in insects

Bioinformatics Study of Structural Patterns in Plant MicroRNA Precursors

According to the RNA world theory, RNAs which stored genetic information and catalyzed chemical reactions had their contribution in the formation of current living organisms. In recent years, researchers studied this molecule diversity, i.a. focusing on small non-coding regulatory RNAs. Among them, of particular interest is evolutionarily ancient, 19-24 nt molecule of microRNA (miRNA). It has b...

Differential genes expression analysis of invasive aspergillosis: a bioinformatics study based on mRNA/microRNA

Invasive aspergillosis is a severe opportunistic infection with high mortality in immunocompromised patients. Recently, the roles of microRNAs have been taken into consideration in the immune system and inflammatory responses. Using bioinformatics approaches, we aimed to study the microRNAs related to invasive aspergillosis to understand the molecular pathways involved in the disease pathogenes...

Structure analysis of microRNA precursors.

MicroRNA biogenesis occurs in several steps from their precursors having irregular hairpin structures. The highly variable architecture of these stem-and-loop structures, which have terminal loops of various sizes and diverse structure destabilizing motifs present in their stem sections, may strongly influence the process of microRNA liberation. In order to better understand this process, more ...

the effect analysis of proficiency on language - switching in iranian efl learners writing

abstract in a protocol analysis of second language writing from 20 adult english as a foreign language (efl) iranian students, this research observed how language-switching (l-s), i.e., first language use in l2 writing, was affected by l2 proficiency. switching interactively between first (l1) and second (l2) languages has been recognized as one of the salient characteristics of l2 writing....
