Bias in recent miRBase annotations potentially associated with RNA quality issues

Bias and Agreement in Syntactic Annotations

We present a study on two key characteristics of human syntactic annotations: anchoring and agreement. Anchoring is a well known cognitive bias in human decision making, where judgments are drawn towards preexisting values. We study the influence of anchoring on a standard approach to creation of syntactic resources where syntactic annotations are obtained via human editing of tagger and parser...

Recent Issues in Leptogenesis

Baryogenesis via leptogenesis provides an appealing mechanism to explain the observed baryon asymmetry of the Universe. Recent refinements in the understanding of the dynamics of leptogenesis include detailed studies of the effects of lepton flavors and of the role possibly played by the lepton asymmetries generated in the decays of the heavier singlet neutrinos N2,3. A review of these recent d...

Circ2Traits: a comprehensive database for circular RNA potentially associated with disease and traits

Circular RNAs are new players in regulation of post transcriptional gene expression. Animal genomes express many circular RNAs from diverse genomic locations. A recent study has validated a fairly large number of circular RNAs in human, mouse, and nematode. Circular RNAs play a crucial role in fine tuning the level of miRNA mediated regulation of gene expression by sequestering the miRNAs. Thei...

Potentially Preventable Number of Cases and Deaths Associated with Pneumococcal Diseases and Haemophilus Influenzae in Iran during (2010-2013)

Background: Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) is a leading cause of bacterial pneumonia, meningitis, and sepsis in children under 5-year of age. This study aims to estimate potentially preventable number of cases and deaths caused by Hib and pneumococcal in Iran.Materials and Methods:We used the burden of diseases model estimates of the World Health Organization (...
