Small RNA transcriptome analysis using parallel single-cell small RNA sequencing
miRNA and other forms of small RNAs are known to regulate many biological processes. Single-cell small RNA sequencing can be used to profile small RNAs of individual cells; however, limitations of efficiency and scale prevent its widespread application ...

Background A fraction of all genomes is composed of transposable elements (TEs) whose mobility needs to be carefully controlled. In gonads, TE activity is repressed by PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs), a class of small RNAs synthesized by heterochromatic ...

PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs), 24–30 nucleotide long RNAs found in the germ cells of animals, are unique among small silencing RNAs in that they require neither an RdRP nor Dicer for their production (Figure 1Figure 1C). Instead, they are thought to derive from single-stranded precursor RNAs tens or hundreds of thousands of nucleotides long.

The small RNA database is a compilation of all the small size RNA sequences available to date, including nuclear, nucleolar, cytoplasmic and mitochondrial small RNAs from eukaryotic organisms and small RNAs from prokaryotic cells as well as viruses. Currently, about 600 small RNA sequences are in our database.

Mechanistic insights into non-coding Y RNA processing
Y RNAs (84–112 nt) are non-coding RNAs transcribed by RNA polymerase III and are characterized by a distinctive secondary structure. Human Y RNAs interact with the autoimmune proteins SSB and RO60 that together form a ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex ...

In plants, RNA silencing is a fundamental regulator of gene expression, heterochromatin formation, suppression of transposable elements, and defense against viruses. The sequence specificity of these processes relies on small noncoding RNA (sRNA) molecules.

Early Drought-Responsive Genes Are Variable and Relevant to Drought Tolerance
Drought stress is an important crop yield limiting factor worldwide. Plant physiological responses to drought stress are driven by changes in gene expression.

sRNA23, a novel small RNA, regulates to the pathogenesis of Streptococcus suis serotype 2
Streptococcus suis serotype 2 (S. suis 2) is an important ubiquitous zoonotic pathogen. To date, regulatory factors and their implication in S. suis pathogenesis are not fully understood.

The next generation sequencing technologies have made the exhaustive sequencing of all small RNA species within a small RNA library possible. Thus, comparative studies on the changes in small-RNA transcriptomes between two biological samples represent a powerful means of revealing the functions of small RNAs in physiological and pathological processes.
