The miR-15/107 group of microRNA (miRNA) gene is increasingly appreciated to serve key
functions in humans. These miRNAs regulate gene expression involved in cell division …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulators involved in
nearly all known biological processes in distant eukaryotic clades. Their discovery and …

Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small (~ 19-24nt) non-coding RNAs that play
important roles in various biological processes. To date, the next-generation sequencing …

Hagfish and lampreys are the only living representatives of the jawless vertebrates
(agnathans), and compared with jawed vertebrates (gnathostomes), they provide insight into …

A wide range of chemicals have been identified as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs)
in vertebrate species. Most studies of EDCs have focused on exposure of both male and …

Background Environmental temperature has serious implications in life cycle of aquatic
ectotherms. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of temperature acclimation and …

Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have recently been shown to play important roles in
development of the immune system and in fine-tuning of immune responses. Human miR …

The broad availability of amplified DNA molecules enabled the development of many
powerful applications in molecular biology techniques. Currently, a variety of DNA …

The role of miRNA in fish sexual development is not elucidated yet. We profiled miRNAs in
gonads and brains of Atlantic halibut using SOLiD sequencing technology. We found tissue …

Abstract The miR-96, miR-182 and miR-183 microRNA (miRNA) family is essential for
differentiation and function of the vertebrate inner ear. Recently, point mutations within the …
