Description
Backgropund:In a major paradigm shift in the last decade, the knowledge about a whole class of non-coding RNAs known as miRNAs has emerged, which have proved these to be important regulators of a wide range of cellular processes by the way of modulation of gene expression. It is reported that some of these miRNAs are modified by addition or deletion of nucleotides at their ends, after biogenesis. However, the biogenesis and functions of these modifications are not well studied in eukaryotes, especially in plants. In this study, we examined the miRNA modifications in different tissues of the various plants, namely rice, tomato and Arabidopsis and identified some common features of such modifications. Results:We have analyzed different aspects of miRNA modifications in plants. To achieve this end, we developed a PERL script to find the modifications in the sequences using small RNA deep sequencing data. The modification occurs in both mature and passenger (star) strands, as well as at both the 5'' and 3'' ends of miRNAs. Interestingly, we found a position-specific nucleotide biased modification, as evident by increased number of modification at the 5'' end with the presence of Cytosine (nucleotide ''C'') at the 3’end of the miRNA sequence. The level of modifications is not strictly dependent on the abundance of miRNA. Our study showed that the modification events are independent of plant species, tissue and physiological conditions. Our analysis also indicates that the RNAi enzyme, namely, the RNA dependent RNA polymerase 6 (RDR6) may not have any role in Arabidopsis miRNA modifications. Some of these modified miRNAs are bound to AGO1, suggesting their possible roles in biological processes. Conclusions:This is a first report that reveals that 5'' nucleotide additions are preferred for mature miRNA sequences with 3’ terminal ‘C’ nucleotide. Our analysis also indicates that the miRNAs modifications involving addition of nucleotides to the 5’ or 3’ end are independent of RDR6 activity and are not restricted by plant species, physiological conditions and tissue types. The results also indicate that such modifications might be important for biological processes. Overall design: small RNA profiles of wild type and RDR6 (-) of Arabidopsis plants were generated using deep sequencing data.

Description
We performed an RNA-Seq analysis comparing thymic lymphoma tissues from the p53-null(n=2) and ?Np63?/?;p53-/- (n=3) or ?Np73?/?;p53-/-(n=3). Mice at 10 weeks of age were injected with either Ad-mCherry or Ad-CRE-mCherry to delete ?Np63/?Np73 in the thymic lmyphomas. We aimed to test by deleting the DNp63/DNp73 in these p53-deficient tumors will mediate tumor regression and analyze the expression profile of the genes Overall design: Examination of thymic lymphoma tissues in 3 different genotypes (p53-/- vs ?Np63?/?;p53-/- or ?Np73?/?;p53-/-)

Description
The gastrointestinal (GI) tract can have significant impact on the regulation of the whole body metabolism and may contribute to the development of obesity and diabetes. To systemically elucidate the role of the GI tract in obesity, we performed a transcriptomic analyses in different parts of the GI tract of two obese mouse models: ob/ob and high-fat diet (HFD) fed mice. Compared to their lean controls, both obese mouse groups had significant amount of gene expression changes in the stomach (ob/ob: 959; HFD: 542), much more than the number of changes in the intestine. Despite the difference in genetic background, the two mouse models shared 296 similar gene expression changes in the stomach. Among those genes, some had known associations to obesity, diabetes and insulin resistance. In addition, the gene expression profile strongly suggested an increased gastric acid secretion in both obese mouse models, probably through an activation of the gastrin pathway. In conclusion, our data reveal a previously unknown dominant connection between the stomach and obesity.

Description
BACKGROUND: p53 is an important tumor suppressor with a known role in the later stages of colorectal cancer, but its relevance to the early stages of neoplastic initiation remains somewhat unclear. Although p53-dependent regulation of Wnt signalling activity is known to occur, the importance of these regulatory mechanisms during the early stages of intestinal neoplasia has not been demonstrated.

Description
We sequenced mRNA from 24 samples extracted from mouse CA1 tissue to generate the first CA1-specific murine transcriptome and the first CA1-transcriptome in response to environmental novelty under normal and Kat2a-loss-of-function conditions. Overall design: Samples were divded in 4 groups: A: Control naïve (n=6), B: control novelty-exposed (n=5), C: Kat2a cKO naïve (n=6), D: Kat2a cKO novelty-exposed (n=7). Pairwise comparisons for AvsB, AvsC, BvsD and CvsD were performed using DESeq2.

Background: Insulin's effect on protein synthesis (translation of transcripts) and post-translational modifications, especially those involving reversible modifications such as phosphorylation of various signaling proteins, are extensively studied. On the other hand, insulin's effect on the transcription of genes, especially of transcriptional temporal patterns, is not well investigated in the literature.
