It is very significant to explore the intrinsic differences in breast cancer subtypes. These intrinsic differences are closely related to clinical diagnosis and designation of treatment plans. With the accumulation of biological and medicine datasets...
BACKGROUND: Identifying mRNA targets of miRNAs is critical for studying gene expression regulation at the whole-genome level. Multiple computational tools have been developed to predict miRNA:mRNA interactions. Nonetheless, many of these tools are de...
BACKGROUND: Micro-RNAs (miRNAs) play a significant role in regulating gene expression under physiological and pathological conditions such as cancers. However, it remains a challenging problem to discover the target messenger RNAs (mRNAs) of a miRNA ...

Titanium dioxide (TiO) is enclosed in many consumer products including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and foods. TiO (E171) is daily ingested as mixed nano- and submicron-sized particles since it is approved as a white colorant in Europe in a wide varie...
BACKGROUND: Small interfering RNA (siRNA) can be used to post-transcriptional gene regulation by knocking down targeted genes. In functional genomics, biomedical research and cancer therapeutics, siRNA design is a critical research topic. Various com...

MicroRNAs, a class of small non-coding RNAs, regulate important biological functions via post-transcriptional regulation of messenger RNAs (mRNAs). Despite rapid development in miRNA research, precise experimental methods to determine miRNA target in...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression by binding to partially complementary regions within the 3'UTR of their target genes. Computational methods play an important role in target prediction and assume that the miR...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that regulate expression of target messenger RNAs (mRNAs) post-transcriptionally. Understanding the precise regulatory role of miRNAs is of great interest since miRNAs have been shown to play an important ...
