Abstract Background Cis-natural antisense transcripts (cis-NATs) are RNAs transcribed from PERFUME the antisense strand of a gene locus, and are complementary to the RNA transcribed from the sense strand.Common techniques including microarray approach and analysis of transcriptome databases are the major ways to globally identify cis-NATs in variou
Transitions in developmental mode are common evolutionarily, but how and why they occur is not understood.Developmental mode describes larval phenotypes, including morphology, ecology and behavior of larvae, which typically are generalized across different species.The polychaete worm Pygospio elegans is one of few species polymorphic in development
Inflammation is a protective response of the body to an irritant.When an inflammatory response occurs, immune cells are recruited to the injury, eliminating the irritation.The excessive inflammatory response can cause harm to the organism.Inflammation has been found to contribute to cervical cancer if there is a problem with the regulation of infla
