April 20, 2017     1:00 p.m. CDT Presented by:   Victor Martinez, Ph.D.    Biomedical Sciences   British Columbia Cancer Research Centre PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are small (24-32bp) non-coding RNAs with a key role in epigenetic regulation of gene expression and ...

The interest in investigating the biological roles of small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) is increasing, due to the pleiotropic effects of these molecules exert in many biological contexts. While several methods and tools are available to study microRNAs (miRNAs), only few ...

Small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) are highly abundant RNAs, typically <100 nucleotides long, that act as key regulators of diverse cellular processes. Although thousands of sncRNA genes are known to exist in the human genome, no single database provides searchable, unified ...

Small silencing RNAs, including microRNAs, endogenous small interfering RNAs (endo-siRNAs) and Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs), have been shown to play important roles in fine-tuning gene expression, defending virus and controlling transposons. Loss of small silencing RNAs or components in their pathways ...
