PcircRNA_finder – circRNA prediction in plants

rna-seq

Recent studies reveal an important role of non-coding circular RNA (circRNA) in the control of cellular processes. Because of differences in the organization of plant and mammal genomes, the sensitivity and accuracy of circRNA prediction programs using algorithms developed for ...

Comprehensive Analysis of Alternative Splicing by Strand-Specific RNA-Seq

rna-seq

Digitalis purpurea (D. purpurea) is one of the most important medicinal plants and is well known in the treatment of heart failure because of the cardiac glycosides that are its main active compounds. However, in the absence of strand specific ...

Genomic-scale exchange of mRNA between a parasitic plant and its hosts

rna-seq

Movement of RNAs between cells of a single plant is well documented, but cross-species RNA transfer is largely unexplored. Cuscuta pentagona (dodder) is a parasitic plant that forms symplastic connections with its hosts and takes up host messenger RNAs (mRNAs). ...
