Characterization Of 'Fuzzy Tassel' Male Sterility Defects Implicates Novel MiRNA-Regulated Pathways In Maize Stamen Development
(East Carolina University, 2015)The maize 'fuzzy tassel' ('fzt') mutant is caused by a mutation in 'dicer-like1' and has broad developmental defects. 'dicer-like1' encodes a key enzyme for microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis and many miRNAs are reduced in 'fzt' ... -
A Functional Analysis of microRNAs in Nicotiana tabacum
(East Carolina University, 2012)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a newly discovered class of endogenous post-transcriptional gene regulators that are typically 20-22 nucleotides in length that do not code for proteins. MiRNAs regulate gene expression by either ... -
IMPLEMENTATION OF BERT BASED MACHINE LEARNING MODEL TO EXTRACT CANCER –MIRNA RELATIONSHIP FROM RESEARCH LITERATURE
(East Carolina University, 2021-04-15)In the world today, text mining is a widely popular and growing branch of Information technology, in which we extract useful information out of the given pile of text data. There are thousands of research papers in medical ... -
miRDiabetes : A microRNA-Diabetes Association Database Constructed With Data Mining on Literature
(East Carolina University, 2014)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a growing class of non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression by translational repression. A role for miRNA in diabetes was first established in 2004 and research in miRNA-diabetes association has ... -
Three Generations, One Future: A Systematic Analysis on Nicotine's Effect across generations in C. elegans.
(East Carolina University, 2013)Tobacco smoking is a worldwide epidemic that is responsible for diseases and death rates that surpass those attributed to a combination of other causes (e.g. cancer, HIV, accidents). A major mediator of tobacco-smoke related ... -
TITANIUM DIOXIDE NANOPARTICLES AFFECT THE GROWTH AND MIRNA EXPRESSION OF SWITCHGRASS (PANICUM VIRGATUM)
(East Carolina University, 2017-06-28)Nanoparticle TiO2 is a common chemical used in paint, plastic, paper, ceramics, coated fabrics, floor coverings, printing ink, roofing granules, cosmetics, dyes and even food and drugs. As increasing usage of TiO2, it is ...
