MicroRNAs in the oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis: extending Drosophilid miRNA conservation to the Tephritidae

October 2015 Authors: Bernarda Calla and Scott M. Geib Info: Scientists analyzed small RNAs in Bactrocera dorsalis, the oriental fruit fly, and compared the resulting gene expression profile with that of Drosophila melanogaster. BluePippin was used to enrich for cDNAs … more »

For MicroRNA Discovery, Pippin Prep Delivers Highest Yield and Specificity

In a highly accessed paper in BMC Medical Genomics, scientists from McGill University and EMBL tested several steps to find the most robust pipeline for discovering small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) that might be useful as biomarkers. As part of this … more »
