Small RNAs regulate gene expression and most genes in the worm Caenorhabditis elegans are subject to their regulation. Here, researchers from the University of Maryland analyze small RNA data sets and use reproducible features of RNAs present in multiple data ...

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is an important model for studies of germ cell biology, including the meiotic cell cycle, gamete specification as sperm or oocyte and gamete development. Fundamental to those studies is a genome-level knowledge of the germline transcriptome. ...

Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) has become the “gold standard”for measuring expression levels of individual miRNAs. However, little is known about the validity of reference miRNAs, the improper use of which can result in misleading interpretation of data. Here researchers from ...
