MicroRNA (miRNA) is a non-protein-coding small RNA molecule that negatively regulates gene expression by degradation of mRNA or suppression of mRNA translation. MiRNAs play important roles in biological processes such as cellular development, differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis and stem cell self-renewal and cancer development. The expression profile of microRNAs is tissue-, cell-type specific. PCR- and microarray-based arrays are the commonly used for differential expression of microRNAs between different diseased conditions. With the next-generation sequencing or massively parallel DNA sequencing technology advanced and the cost is plummeting, microRNAseq approach is widely used for the genome-wide discovery of known and unknown miRNA expression. However, the analysis of microRNAseq is computational expensive, here I provide guidelines and available tools for microRNAseq analysis.

CLDN4 belongs to a multi-transmembrane protein family of claudins, which mainly functions in cell-cell adhesion and migration. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important post-transcriptional regulating factors that participate in broad biological process including immunity. Through high-throughput RNA sequencing strategy, a flounder miRNA, miR-29-x, was identified to be responsible to both bacteria and virus.

Accurate sample classification using transcriptomics data is crucial for advancing personalized medicine. Achieving this goal necessitates determining a suitable sample size that ensures adequate classification accuracy without undue resource allocation. Current sample size calculation methods rely on assumptions and algorithms that may not align with supervised machine learning techniques for sample classification.

Non-coding genes, such as microRNA and lncRNA, which have been widely studied, play an important role in the regulatory network of skeletal muscle development. However, the functions and mechanisms of most non-coding RNAs in skeletal muscle regulatory networks are unclear. This study investigated the function and mechanism of in muscle growth and development.

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is a primary cause of viral diarrhea in neonatal piglets, leading to substantial economic losses in the swine industry globally. It primarily targets epithelial cells of the small intestine, compromising intestinal function and resulting in the death of affected animals. As mitochondria are essential for maintaining gut health, this study investigates the effects of PEDV infection on mitochondrial function in small intestinal epithelial cells and its subsequent impacts.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as crucial regulators of cancer development and progression. Among them, Differentiation Antagonizing Non-Protein Coding RNA (DANCR) has been implicated in various malignancies, including esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). This study explores the clinical characteristics, prognostic implications, functional roles, and molecular mechanisms of DANCR in ESCC.
