MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate the expression of
thousands of genes in a broad range of organisms in both normal physiological contexts …

Marine organisms' persistence hinges on the capacity for acclimatization and adaptation to
the myriad of interacting environmental stressors associated with global climate change. In …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulators involved in
nearly all known biological processes in distant eukaryotic clades. Their discovery and …

The hypothesis that epigenetic mechanisms of gene expression regulation have two main
roles in vertebrate sex is presented. First, and within a given generation, by contributing to …

Background Environmental temperature has serious implications in life cycle of aquatic
ectotherms. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of temperature acclimation and …

Female gamete production relies on coordinated molecular and cellular processes that
occur in the ovary throughout oogenesis. In fish, as in other vertebrates, these processes …

Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding regulatory RNAs that control gene
expression usually producing translational repression and gene silencing. High-throughput …

The role of miRNA in fish sexual development is not elucidated yet. We profiled miRNAs in
gonads and brains of Atlantic halibut using SOLiD sequencing technology. We found tissue …

Studies in non-teleost vertebrates have found microRNAs (miRNAs) to be essential for
proper gonadal development. However, comparatively little is known about their role during …

Background Geminiviruses are a large and important family of plant viruses that infect a
wide range of crops throughout the world. The Begomovirus genus contains species that are …
