Abstract Background MiRNA are about 22nt long small noncoding RNAs that post transcriptionally regulate gene expression in animals, plants and protozoa.Confident identification of MiRNA-Target Interactions (MTI) is vital to understand their function.Currently, several integrated computational programs and databases are available for animal miRNAs,
Abstract Evolutionary analyses have been widely used for evaluation of genetic diversity of natural populations and correlate these data to the fitness of the species, especially in the case of threatened species.Calydorea crocoides occurs in a restricted area at altitudes from 800 to 1500 m in southern Brazil and is considered endangered.A study a
Escherichia coli is the most well-studied model prokaryote and has become an indispensable host for the biotechnological production of proteins and biochemicals.In particular, the probiotic status of one E.coli strain, E.coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) has helped it become a new favorite amongst synthetic biologists.To broaden its potential applications, he
Background and Objectives: Different cellular and molecular processes are involved in the production of malignant and infectious pleural effusions.However, the underlying mechanisms responsible for these differences or their consequences remain incompletely understood.The objective of this study was to identify differences in gene expression in ple
