Bioinformatics Analysis of Small RNA Sequencing
Small RNAs are important functional molecules in organisms, which have three main categories: microRNA (miRNA), small interfering RNA (siRNA), and piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA). They are less than 200 nt in length and are often not translated into proteins. Small RNA generally accomplishes RNA interference (RNAi) by forming the core of an RNA-protein complex (RNA-induced silencing complex, RISC). ...

CD Genomics Perspective: Sequencing-Based Eukaryote Epigenomics
Unlike prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells can regulate gene expression at many different levels. Epigenomic changes are inheritable changes in gene expression and are not caused by changes in DNA sequences. In microbial epigenomics studies, molecular processes influencing epigenomic inheritance have been discovered from microbial eukaryotes such as Neurospora crassa and Schizosaccharomyces ...
