New experimental methods make it possible to measure the expression levels of many genes, simultaneously, in snapshots from thousands or even millions of individual cells. Current approaches to analyze these experiments involve clustering…
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression. Identification of total number of miRNAs even in completely sequenced organisms is still an open problem. However, researchers have been using techniques that…
MicroRNA (miRNA) are small non-coding RNAs that regulates the gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Determining whether a sequence segment is miRNA is experimentally challenging. Also, experimental results are sensitive to the…
MicroRNAs are small non-coding nucleotide sequences that regulate target protein expression at post-transcriptional levels. Biogenesis of microRNA is a highly regulated multi-step pathway. Regulation of miRNA biogenesis can be caused…
Most human protein-coding genes can be transcribed into multiple possible distinct mRNA isoforms. These alternative splicing patterns encourage molecular diversity and dysregulation of isoform expression plays an important role in disease…
