Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short, non-coding RNA molecules that are directly involved in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. The mature miRNA sequence bind...
Background: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) provide an important tool in pinpointing susceptibility genes for complex diseases and in unveiling human molecular evolution. S...
While genomic sequencing projects have proved an abundant source of information for biological studies ranging from the molecular to the ecological in scale, much of the informati...
