BACKGROUND: Exploring piRNA-disease associations can help discover candidate diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Several computational methods have been presented for identifying associations between piRNAs and diseases. Howe...
The clinical adoption of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) has prompted the development of various computational strategies for siRNA design, from traditional data analysis to advanced machine learning techniques. However, previous studies have inadequ...
Entamoeba histolytica is the parasite responsible for amoebiasis, which can result in amoebic colitis or amoebic liver abscess. Metronidazole has been the conventional treatment for intestinal amoebiasis, but concerns regarding resistance have emerge...
Antiviral defenses are one of the significant roles of RNA interference (RNAi) in plants. It has been reported that the host RNAi mechanism machinery can target viral RNAs for destruction because virus-derived small interfering RNAs (vsiRNAs) are fou...
Short hairpin RNA (shRNA)-mediated gene silencing is an important technology to achieve RNA interference, in which the design of potent and reliable shRNA molecules plays a crucial role. However, efficient shRNA target selection through biological te...
Accumulated researches have revealed that Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are regulating the development of germ and stem cells, and they are closely associated with the progression of many diseases. As the number of the detected piRNAs is increasing ...
