MOTIVATION: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that function in RNA silencing and post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression by targeting messenger RNAs (mRNAs). Because the underlying mechanisms associated with miRNA binding to mRN...
The current deluge of newly identified RNA transcripts presents a singular opportunity for improved assessment of coding potential, a cornerstone of genome annotation, and for machine-driven discovery of biological knowledge. While traditional, featu...
PURPOSE: Protein sumoylation is a well established regulatory mechanism that regulates chromatin structure and dynamics, cell proliferation and differentiation, stress response and cell apoptosis. In the vertebrate eye, we and others have shown that ...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence and mechanism of acupuncture at the points in Heel Vessel for the circadian clock genes of Period () 1 and 2 mRNAs in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in insomnia rats.
The present study aimed to assess LH effects on in vitro maturation (IVM) and apoptosis and also to explore the gene expressions of LHR and FSHR in cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) of the sheep. COCs were in vitro matured 24h in the IVM medium supplem...

Signaling AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), an energy sensing enzyme, has been implicated in controlling inflammation. In this study we investigated whether activation of AMPK by metformin could protect the lung from lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induc...
MOTIVATION: Reconstructing regulatory networks from expression and interaction data is a major goal of systems biology. While much work has focused on trying to experimentally and computationally determine the set of transcription-factors (TFs) and m...
