MicroRNAs (miRNAs) represent a class of endogenous regulator for post-transcriptionally modulating gene expression. Elucidating complete miRNA repertoires for individual species is a long-desired goal in miRNA research. So far only 42 have been annotated for common wheat (Triticum aestivum) due to its large genome. Here, we employed miRDeep-P, a program developed previously for retrieving miRNAs from...
Endogenous microRNAs (miRNAs) modulate gene expression at the post-transcription level. In plants, a vast majority of MIR genes are thought to be transcribed by RNA Polymerase II (Pol II). However, promoter organization is currently unknown for most plant MIR genes. This deficiency prevents a comprehensive understanding of miRNA-mediated gene networks. In this study, we performed Pol II chromatin...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level in eukaryotes. Exclusive focus on mature miRNA in most expression profiling efforts has prevented effective measurement of the expression of individual miRNA (MIR) genes. Using three sequenced small RNA libraries, we adapted miRDeep, which employs a probabilistic model of miRNA biogenesis, to analyze the miRNA transcriptome...
In the study of gene expression, it is often desirable to distinguish transcript pools derived from different alleles present in the same organism. We report here an oligonucleotide tiling microarray designed to specifically target 518 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) between the two sequenced rice (Oryza sativa) subspecies indica and japonica. The tiling array included all 25-mer probes interrogating...
To study how changes in gene regulation shape phenotypic variations in rice, we performed a comparative analysis of genome expression in the heading-stage panicle from six lineages of cultivated and wild rice, including Oryza sativa subsp. indica, japonica and javanica, O. nivara , O. rufipogon and O. glaberrima. While nearly three-quarters of the genes are expressed at a constant level in all six...
Cell cycle checkpoints are gating mechanisms that govern cell cycle progression in the presence of DNA damage and incomplete DNA replication. TheSchizosaccharomyces pombeRad1 protein is an essential component of cell cycle checkpoints activated by both types of genomic stress. In this study, we report the isolation of a human homolog of theS. pombe RAD1gene. The hRAD1 protein is also similar to theSaccharomyces...
