The rapid development of new generation sequencing technology has deepened the
understanding of genomes and functional products. RNA-sequencing studies in mammals …

Background Lipids are important for the cell and organism life since they are major
components of membranes, energy reserves and are also signal molecules. The main …

While long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) research in the past has primarily focused on the
discovery of novel genes, today it has shifted towards functional annotation of this large …

What kind of genetic variation contributes the most to adaptation is a fundamental question
in evolutionary biology. By resequencing genomes of 80 individuals, we inferred the origin …

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are over 200 nucleotides in length and are transcribed
from the mammalian genome in a tissue-specific and developmentally regulated pattern …

The chicken continues to hold its position as a leading model organism within many areas of
research, as well as being a major source of protein for human consumption. The First …

Background The prevalence of obesity and excessive gestational weight gain (GWG) has
been increasing worldwide. The aims of this study were to evaluate associations of …

Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a mosquito-borne zoonotic flavivirus that causes
encephalitis and reproductive disorders in mammalian species. However, the host factors …

Thousands of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified in mouse, rat, and
human testes, some of which play important roles in testis development and …

Background Gene annotation in eukaryotes is a non-trivial task that requires meticulous
analysis of accumulated transcript data. Challenges include transcriptionally active regions …
