Characterization and expression pattern analysis of microRNAs in wheat under drought stress
Plant microRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in regulating plant growth, development, and responses to abiotic stresses. In this study, 38 miRNAs (TaMIRs) from wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), 36 from the miRBase database, and two from our previous work ...

Pathogens associated with acute infectious canine tracheobronchitis in New Zealand : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters in Veterinary Studies in Virology at Massey University, Turitea, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
Infectious canine tracheobronchitis (ICT) or canine infectious respiratory disease, commonly known as kennel cough, is an acute, highly contagious respiratory disease that affects the larynx, trachea, bronchi, and occasionally the parenchyma of the lower

Two-phase wash to solve the ubiquitous contaminant-carryover problem in commercial nucleic-acid extraction kits [PDF]
The success of fundamental and applied nucleic acid (NA) research depends on NA purity, but obtaining pure NAs from raw, unprocessed samples is challenging.

Prediction of regulatory targets of alternative isoforms of the epidermal growth factor receptor in a glioblastoma cell line. [PDF]
BackgroundThe epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a major regulator of proliferation in tumor cells. Elevated expression levels of EGFR are associated with prognosis and clinical outcomes of patients in a variety of tumor types. There are at least

dUTPases are involved in balancing the appropriate nucleotide pools. We showed that dUTPase is essential for normal development in zebrafish. The different zebrafish genomes contain several single‐nucleotide variations (SNPs) of the dut gene. One of the dUTPase variants displayed drastically lower protein stability and catalytic efficiency as compared ...

Droplet digital PCR is an accurate method to assess methylation status on FFPE samples
Most tissue samples available for cancer research are archived as formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples. However, the fixation process and the long storage duration lead to DNA fragmentation and hinder epigenome analysis.
