Previous researches centered on ~2% of coding human genome, assuming that the non-coding sequences were “junk” lacking significant functional information. Recent medical research show that a major percentage of the human genome (~70-90%) are non-coding, stored in the cell in the form of non-coding RNA (ncRNA) which overshadows the coding information limited only to a small percentage. These ncRNAs are composed of mostly ultraconserved elements, lacking protein-coding potential and regulating gene expression acting as enhancers whose aberrant expression may be involved in pathological process such as cancer. Here, we have described RNA-seq data analysis for the profiling of transcriptome of Breast cells and provided a generic outline of the whole pipeline from next-generation sequencing (NGS) output for quantification of differential gene expression across different conditions (e.g., control vs test). We have used tool Cufflinks-Cuffdiff to estimate transcript-level expression for gene discovery extracted from high-throughput RNA-seq data across distinct conditions that represent candidate biomarkers for future research. This study provides the survey of coding transcripts associated genes expression within a cancer system.","PeriodicalId":363820,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Bioinformatics and Systems Biology (BSB)","volume":"454 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122938079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is one of the most important cereal crops worldwide. To date, only a few conserved miRNAs have been reported in wheat and their association with different metabolic process is still in dark. Therefore, the present study we attempt to predict miRNA and their association with metabolic pathways in wheat. Total 39 potential mature miRNA's were predicted using 1287279 ESTs of wheat and 8496 known mature miRNA's, along with their precursor sequences, of Viridiplantae. Overall, 11380 genome wise target genes across 21 chromosomes were identified and functionally characterized via meta-analysis. As a result, genome wise miRNA-targets signatures under different conditions and their regulatory pathways along with network structures were examined. Here, a concept of “miRNA community” was proposed and a miRNA community linked with nitrogen metabolism was identified. Top two potential miRNA's from this community were verified by stem loop pulsed RT-PCR for their expression in root and leaf tissue under nitrogen starvation. Exploration of such type of miRNAs communities will provide in depth understanding of metabolic processes that may leads to improved genotypes.","PeriodicalId":363820,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Bioinformatics and Systems Biology (BSB)","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114786886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The expression level of P-glycoprotein is reported to be high in the cancer stem cell population. Stilbenes are phenylpropanoid-derived naturally occurring secondary metabolites of plants, reported as third generation inhibitors of P-glycoprotein. Based on biological activities of stilbenes against breast cancer cell line, the 3D quantitative structure-activity relationship and docking simulation study was carried out to predict the pharmacophoric features of these compounds.

A variety of proteomic and transcriptomic approaches have been used so far to investigate seed germination process in response to abiotic stresses. In this study, we have investigated deferentially expressed genes/transcripts (DEGs) of embryo and endosperm in response to ABA and H2O2 stress by the means of stress systems biology approaches using microarray data. Further, role of DEGs in response to each stress was explored, which identify biological and molecular functions of genes during seed germination embryo and endosperm.
