miRNA expression profiling: from reference genes to global mean normalization.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an important class of gene regulators, acting on several aspects of cellular function such as differentiation, cell cycle control, and stemness. These master regulators constitute an invaluable source of biomarkers, and several miRNA signatures correlating with patient diagnosis, prognosis, and response to treatment have been identified. Within this exciting field of rese...

Does the possession of virulence factor genes mean that those genes will be active?

There are a number of relationships the host can establish with the microbes we ingest. For the vast majority of microbes, they have a short-lived liaison with the human host. Either they are destroyed by the stomach acid or bile, or can not establish even a temporary residency in the gastrointestinal tract. Early in life the mucosal surfaces of the body establishes a resident, and generally st...

What Does the Mean Mean?

As the Internet has become a big business, its performance has become an important question. Several companies have started monitoring Internet performance, many ISPs now conduct internal performance measurements, and there are also independent organizations such as RIPE that conduct regular performance monitoring of ISPs. The exact form of measurements may vary, but typically they are based on...
