The Porcine microRNAome is revealed

Results blaze a trail for advancement in pig biology as well the use of pigs as model organism for human biological and biomedical studies

20-Aug-2010 - Researchers from LC Sciences LLC and a collaboration of universities have established a porcine microRNAome, a complete catalog of all microRNAs expressed in the species Sus scrofa. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small regulatory RNA molecules known to control a wide array of cellular functions such as ...

Small RNAs Discovered: Contribute to Significant miRBase Update

19-Sep-2008 - Non-coding (ncRNAs) are a large class of RNAs which do not encode proteins but possess regulatory functions at the level of translation in cells of various species. There are an increasing amount of data suggesting that there are likely many more ncRNAs that exist, yet to be discovered. Custom ...
