Research demonstrates that defects in the processing mechanisms of small non-coding RNAs are linked to various human diseases. This text explores microRNAs and their functional roles in cells and organisms. It includes a study of microRNAs in development, cancer, and viruses.
Endogenous small RNAs have been found in various organisms, including humans, mice, flies, worms, fungi, and bacteria. Furthermore, it's been shown that microRNAs acting as cellular rheostats have the ability to modulate gene expression. In higher eukaryotes, microRNAs may regul…
"Animal Endo-SiRNAs: Methods and Protocols presents a variety of approaches to investigate endo-siRNAs. These include protocols applicable to study short RNAs expressed at a low level and model systems that are particularly suitable to investigate specific aspects of endo-siRNAs…
This detailed volume explores newly-developed methods in PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) research, methods currently applied to other ncRNAs involved in nuclear regulation which can be used to study piRNAs, and piRNA methods applied in non-classical organisms. It also includes se…
