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 ...
