miReader: Discovering Novel miRNAs in Species without Sequenced Genome
Along with computational approaches, NGS led technologies have caused a major impact upon the discoveries made in the area of miRNA biology, including novel miRNAs identification. However, to this date all microRNA discovery tools compulsorily depend upon the availability of reference or genomic sequences. Here, for the first time a novel approach, miReader, has been introduced which could disc...
متن کاملmiR-218 on the genomic loss region of chromosome 4p15.31 functions as a tumor suppressor in bladder cancer.
Growing evidence suggests that microRNAs (miRNAs) are aberrantly expressed in many human cancers, and that they play significant roles in carcinogenesis and cancer progression. The identification of tumor suppressive miRNAs and their target genes could provide new insights into the mechanism of carcinogenesis. However, the genetic or epigenetic regulations of these miRNAs have not yet been full...
متن کاملAnnotation of additional evolutionary conserved microRNAs in CHO cells from updated genomic data
MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that play a critical role in post-transcriptional control of gene expression. Recent publications of genomic sequencing data from the Chinese Hamster (CGR) and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells provide new tools for the discovery of novel miRNAs in this important production system. Version 20 of the miRNA registry miRBase contains 307 mature miRNAs and 200 pr...
متن کاملMicroRNAs: Critical Regulators of mRNA Traffic and Translational Control with Promising Biotech and Therapeutic Applications
Context:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of short, endogenously-initiated, non-coding RNAs that post-transcriptionally control gene expression via translational repression or mRNA turnover. MiRNAs have attracted much attention in recent years as they play critical roles in gene expression and are promising tools with many biotech and therapeutic applications. The molecular mechanisms und...
متن کامل[Computational approaches to microRNA discovery].
microRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous non-coding RNAs of ~21 nucleotides in length discovered in recent years. They are involved in diverse pathways and play an important role in gene regulation in plants and animals. There are two main groups of approaches to miRNA discovery, which are cDNA cloning and computational identification. Since some miRNAs are expressed at a low level and the expression ...
