Animal cells possess thousands of long non-coding (lnc) RNAs, such as antisense noncoding RNA in the INK4 locus (ANRIL) , which have regulatory roles in the cells’ molecular mechanisms, including X-chromosome inactivation, and developmental processes.  These lnc RNAs are known to influence the extensive spectrum of age-related disorders. Accordingly, there is evidence for the role of...

objective: patients over 60 years of age have higher mortality and morbidity after major liver resections. nitric oxide (no) derived from the catalytic activity of nos2 plays a beneficial role in liver regeneration (lr) after partial hepatectomy (ph). in this experiment, we evaluated the effect of nos2 knockout (ko) on lr in aged mice after ph. materials and methods: in this cohort study, 52 tw...

Gene-level differential expression analysis based on RNA-Seq is more robust, powerful and biologically actionable than transcript-level differential analysis. However aggregation of transcript counts prior to analysis results can mask transcript-level dynamics. We demonstrate that aggregating the results of transcript-level analysis allow for gene-level analysis with transcript-level resolution...
