identification and discovery of novel micrornas in the human genome

although more than 98% of the human genome is transcribed, most of these transcripts are not translated into proteins. rather, they are considered as non-coding rnas. micrornas (mirnas) are very short non-coding rnas approximately 22 nucleotides in length which regulate many key processes of cells such as growth, proliferation, differentiation, cell cycle, apoptosis (programmed cell death) and ...

Combinatorial chromatin modification patterns in the human genome revealed by subspace clustering

Chromatin modifications, such as post-translational modification of histone proteins and incorporation of histone variants, play an important role in regulating gene expression. Joint analyses of multiple histone modification maps are starting to reveal combinatorial patterns of modifications that are associated with functional DNA elements, providing support to the 'histone code' hypothesis. H...

Bacterial phylogenetic clusters revealed by genome structure.

Current bacterial taxonomy is mostly based on phenotypic criteria, which may yield misleading interpretations in classification and identification. As a result, bacteria not closely related may be grouped together as a genus or species. For pathogenic bacteria, incorrect classification or misidentification could be disastrous. There is therefore an urgent need for appropriate methodologies to c...
