    • Characterization of the small RNA component of leaves and fruits from four different cucurbit species 

      Jagadeeswaran, Guru; Nimmakayala, Padma; Zheng, Yun; Gowdu, Kanchana; Reddy, Umesh K.; Sunkar, Ramanjulu (BioMed Central, 2012-07-23)
      Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of non-coding small RNAs involved in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression critical for plant growth and development, stress responses and other diverse biological ...
    • Cloning, characterization and expression analysis of porcine microRNAs 

      Reddy, Alavala Matta; Zheng, Yun; Jagadeeswaran, Guru; Macmil, Simone L.; Graham, Wiley B.; Roe, Bruce A.; DeSilva, Udaya; Zhang, Weixiong; Sunkar, Ramanjulu (BioMed Central, 2009-02-05)
      Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small ~22-nt regulatory RNAs that can silence target genes, by blocking their protein production or degrading the mRNAs. Pig is an important animal in the agriculture industry because of ...
    • Deep sequencing of small RNA libraries reveals dynamic regulation of conserved and novel microRNAs and microRNA-stars during silkworm development 

      Jagadeeswaran, Guru; Zheng, Yun; Sumathipala, Niranji; Jiang, Haobo; Arrese, Estela L.; Soulages, Jose L.; Zhang, Weixiong; Sunkar, Ramanjulu (BioMed Central, 2010-01-20)
      Background: In eukaryotes, microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as critical regulators of gene expression. The Silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) is one of the most suitable lepidopteran insects for studying the molecular aspects of ...
    • Sex specific expression and distribution of small RNAs in papaya 

      Aryal, Rishi; Jagadeeswaran, Guru; Zheng, Yun; Yu, Qingyi; Sunkar, Ramanjulu; Ming, Ray (BioMed Central, 2014-01-13)
      Background: Regulatory function of small non-coding RNAs (sRNA) in response to environmental and developmental cues has been established. Additionally, sRNA, also plays an important role in maintaining the heterochromatin ...
