Differential expression of microRNAs may regulate pollen development in Brassica oleracea

J. H. Song, Yang, J., Pan, F., and Jin, B., Differential expression of microRNAs may regulate pollen development in Brassica oleracea, vol. 14, pp. 15024-15034, 2015.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of non-coding endogenous negative regulators that regulate gene expression at both the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. However, little is known about the expression characteristics of miRNAs during pollen development in Brassica oleracea. In this study, five known and three novel miRNAs were identified and their expression patterns were compared in the flower buds of B. oleracea using stem-loop reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and quantitative real-time PCR.

microRNAs in avian influenza virus H9N2-infected and non-infected chicken embryo fibroblasts

X. Peng, Gao, Q. S., Zhou, L., Chen, Z. H., Lu, S., Huang, H. J., Zhan, C. Y., and Xiang, M., microRNAs in avian influenza virus H9N2-infected and non-infected chicken embryo fibroblasts, vol. 14, pp. 9081-9091, 2015.

There is limited information about microRNAs (miR­NAs) in H9N2 subtype influenza virus-infected chicken cells or tissues. In this study, 10,487,469 and 13,119,795 reads were obtained from in­fected and non-infected chicken embryo fibroblasts, respectively. Seven hundred and thirty-six and 1004 miRNAs, including mature miRNAs and precursors, were obtained from the infected and non-infected fibro­blasts, respectively.
