An Insight into Ocular Genetics
Over the past decade, there has been an exponential increase in the database of heritable eye disorders. More than 100,000 germline mutations reported in more than 3,700 different human nuclear genes are associated with inherited diseases.

Unique and conserved MicroRNAs in wheat chromosome 5D revealed by next-generation sequencing [PDF]
MicroRNAs are a class of short, non-coding, single-stranded RNAs that act as post-transcriptional regulators in gene expression. miRNA analysis of Triticum aestivum chromosome 5D was performed on 454 GS FLX Titanium sequences of flow sorted chromosome 5D

Amniotic fetal stem cells – derived endothelial progenitors, a support for personalized cardiovascular regenerative medicine [PDF]
Introduction. Worldwide, cardiovascular diseases represent the first cause of morbidity and mortality. The genetic contribution in this pathology is heterogenous, and the microenvironment-genes interactions (mediated by epigenetic mechanisms) influence ...

Regulation of gene expression by micrornas : targeting specificity, kinetics and function [PDF]
Summary: Understanding gene regulation is a central question of molecular biology. For decades, gene expression was thought to be controlled by a complex network of proteins called transcription factors.

Circulating microRNA, secreted microRNA and exogenous plant microRNA [PDF]
Dysregulated expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) in various tissues has been associated with a variety of diseases, including cancers. Here we demonstrate that miRNAs are present in the serum and plasma of humans and other animals such as mice, rats, bovine fetuses, calves and horses.

MicroRNAs in cardiac arrhythmia: DNA sequence variation of MiR-1 and MiR-133A in long QT syndrome. [PDF]
Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a genetic cardiac condition associated with prolonged ventricular repolarization, primarily a result of perturbations in cardiac ion channels, which predisposes individuals to life-threatening arrhythmias.

miRNAs as Interconnectors between Obesity and Cancer
Obesity and cancer are a concern of global interest. It is proven that obesity may trigger the development or progression of some types of cancer; however, the connection by non-coding RNAs has not been totally explored. In the present review, we discuss
