Endogenous small RNAs, including microRNAs (miRNAs) and short-interfering RNAs (siRNAs), function as post-transcriptional or transcriptional regulators in plants. miRNA is essential for normal plant development therefore likely to be important the growth of rice grain. To investigate roles miRNAs grain development, we carried out deep sequencing RNA populations grains at two developmental stages. In a data set ∼5.5 million sequences, found representatives all 20 conserved families. We used...
Condensins are ubiquitously expressed multiprotein complexes that important for chromosome condensation and epigenetic regulation of gene transcription, but whose specific roles in vertebrates poorly understood. We describe a mouse strain, nessy, isolated during an ethylnitrosourea screen recessive immunological mutations. The nessy has defect T lymphocyte development decreases circulating cell numbers, increases their expression the activation/memory marker CD44, dramatically numbers...
The transition to flowering occurs at the shoot apex; however, most of characterized genes that affect timing floral induction are expressed throughout plant. To further our understanding these and process, vegetative molecular phenotypes 16 Arabidopsis mutants associated with major initiation pathways were assayed using a 13,000 clone microarray under two different conditions flowering. All showed least one change in gene expression other than mutant gene. Metabolism- defence-related areas...
Data management has become a critical challenge faced by wide array of scientific disciplines in which the provision sound data is pivotal to achievements and impact research projects. Massive rapidly expanding amounts combined with models that evolve over time contribute making an increasingly challenging task warrants rethinking its design. In this paper we present PODD, ontology-centric architecture for systems extensible domain independent. architecture, behaviors concepts objects are...
High-throughput gene expression profiling using microarrays has given plant biologists a powerful new technology to discover function and understand cellular processes. Bioinformatics rapidly developed deliver the tools necessary interpret this data, but opportunities further exploit mass of data from hundreds experiments are becoming dependent upon use sophisticated database repositories. Data mining these resources will allow compare link profiles experimental factors uncover functions...
In 2005, the National Library of Australia (NLA) began a pilot project to selectively digitize back issues major Australian newspapers provide free public access over 60 million digitized newspaper articles, dating from first years colonization early 1960s. Trove, faceted search engine maintained by NLA, provides this very large collection. Unfortunately, Trove lacked any means filter location, which raised tantalizing possibility using advanced computational techniques identify long-term...
