PERSPECT IVE Approaches to microRNA discovery
نویسندگان
چکیده
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are noncoding RNAs that can regulate gene expression. Several hundred genes encoding miRNAs have been experimentally identified in animals, and many more are predicted by computational methods. How can new miRNAs be discovered and distinguished from other types of small RNA? Here we summarize current methods for identifying and validating miRNAs and discuss criteria used to define an miRNA.

Current approaches to punctuation in computational linguistics
Some recent studies in computat ional l inguist ics have aimed to take advantage of various cues presented by punctuation marks. This short survey is intended to summarise these research efforts and additionally, to outline a current perspect ive for the usage and functions of punctuation marks. We conclude by presenting an information-based f ramework for punctuation, influenced by treatments ...
متن کاملDiagnosis and Treatment B non-Hodgkin Lymphoma with System Biology Approaches
Lymphomas are solid tumors of immune system and Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas (NHL) is the most prevalent lymphomas; with wide ranges of histological and clinical features, it is so difficult to identify them. Herein, various bioinformatics tools (such as gene differential expressions, epigenetics and protein analysis) employed to find new treatment approach for NHL based on gene expression variation b...
متن کاملIDEA AND PERSPECT IVE A hierarchical theory of macroecology
*Correspondence: E-mail: sophia. [email protected] Abstract The relationships of local population density (N ) with body size (M ) and distribution (D ) have been extensively studied because they reveal how ecological and historical factors structure species communities; however, a unifying model explaining their joint behaviour, has not been developed. Here, I propose a theory that explores these ...
