    Arena-Idb: a platform to build human non-coding RNA interaction networks

    High throughput technologies have provided the scientific community an unprecedented opportunity for large-scale analysis of genomes. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), for a long time believed to be non-functional, ar...

    TRIM8 restores p53 tumour suppressor function by blunting N-MYC activity in chemo-resistant tumours

    TRIM8 plays a key role in controlling the p53 molecular switch that sustains the transcriptional activation of cell cycle arrest genes and response to chemotherapeutic drugs. The mechanisms that regulate TRIM8...

    A fuzzy method for RNA-Seq differential expression analysis in presence of multireads

    When the reads obtained from high-throughput RNA sequencing are mapped against a reference database, a significant proportion of them - known as multireads - can map to more than one reference sequence. These ...

    Managing NGS Differential Expression Uncertainty with Fuzzy Sets

    High-performance Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) has become a widely used technology to characterize case-control comparison studies for RNA transcripts, such as mRNAs and small non-coding RNAs. The first ste...

    A Guideline for the Annotation of UTR Regulatory Elements in the UTRsite Collection

    Gene expression regulatory elements are scattered in gene promoters and pre-mRNAs. In particular, RNA elements lying in untranslated regions (5′ and 3′UTRs) are poorly studied because of their peculiar feature...

    A platform independent RNA-Seq protocol for the detection of transcriptome complexity

    Recent studies have demonstrated an unexpected complexity of transcription in eukaryotes. The majority of the genome is transcribed and only a little fraction of these transcripts is annotated as protein codin...
