Gene expression can be modulated in plants to produce desired traits through agricultural
biotechnology. Currently, biotechnology-derived crops are compared to their conventional …

Analyses of gene expression data sets for multiple individuals and species promise to shed
light on the mode of evolution of gene expression. However, complementary complexities …

(Supplementary Fig. 5). Sequencing of the mouse-rice RNA library at a depth of just 5 million
reads readily obtained the 30 most abundant miRNAs found in deep sequencing of rice …

Appropriate response to nutritional stress is critical for animal survival and metabolic health.
To better understand regulatory networks that sense and respond to nutritional availability …

Studies have been conducted in order to identify the main factors that contribute to the
development of obesity. The role of genetics has also been extensively studied. However …

Osteoarthritis (OA) in obese individuals is often attributed to joint loading. However, a
subtype of OA, Metabolic OA, may be due to obesity-related intrinsic factors but remains to …

It is still unclear if an isoenergetic, sucrose-rich diet leads to health consequences. Aims To
investigate the effects of excessive sucrose within an isoenergetic diet on metabolic …

We agree with Dickinson et al. 1 that follow-up studies to carefully evaluate the uptake of
food-derived microRNAs (miRNAs) and the potential of crosskingdom gene regulation in …

Obesity may represent a state of chronic low-grade inflammation associated with infiltration
of adipose tissue by inflammatory cells. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and monocyte …

New biotechnology-derived crop traits have been developed utilizing the natural process of
RNA interference (RNAi). However, plant-produced double stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) are …
