Article
Open AccessThe Pseudomonas aeruginosa accessory genome elements influence virulence towards Caenorhabditis elegans
Multicellular animals and bacteria frequently engage in predator-prey and host-pathogen interactions, such as the well-studied relationship between Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. ...

mirWIP: microRNA target prediction based on microRNA-containing ribonucleoprotein–enriched transcripts
A new prediction algorithm for microRNA targets, mirWIP, is presented. The algorithm weights target site features based on their enrichment in an experimentally defined immunoprecipitation dataset and identifi...

Article
Potent effect of target structure on microRNA function
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that repress protein synthesis by binding to target messenger RNAs. We investigated the effect of target secondary structure on the efficacy of repression by miRNAs....

Article
Expression profiling of mammalian microRNAs uncovers a subset of brain-expressed microRNAs with possible roles in murine and human neuronal differentiation
The microRNAs (miRNAs) are an extensive class of small noncoding RNAs (18 to 25 nucleotides) with probable roles in the regulation of gene expression. In Caenorhabditis elegans, lin-4 and let-7 miRNAs control the...

Protocol
Identification of microRNAs and Other Tiny Noncoding RNAs by cDNA Cloning
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) and other small RNAs can be identified by cloning and sequencing cDNAs prepared from the ∼22-nt fraction of total RNA. Methods are described for the construction of cDNA libraries from small...

Chapter
Genetic Basis for Heterochronic Variation
Genes encode the functional and structural components of cells and hence directly or indirectly define the behavior of individual cells and groups of cells in a develo** system. In this sense the genome of a...
