چکیده
MicroRNAs (miRNA) are a class of noncoding and regulatory RNA molecules about 22 nucleotides in length. MicroRNAs regulate gene expression by an RNA interfering pathway through cleavage or inhibition ofthe translation of target mRNA. Many miRNAs have been reported for their important roles in developmentalprocesses in various animals, but there is limited information about cattle and sheep miRNAs. The comparativegenomics approach due to their conserved nature is a good source for the miRNAs discovery. Cattle and sheep are ideal model organisms for biological and comparative genomics studies. In our study, a computational method based on expressed sequence tag (EST) analysis was used for detection of cattle and sheep miRNAs. Incattle, 25 miRNA candidates found by homology searching frequently clustered at certain chromosomes and 28 miRNAs in sheep had been detected. Our results show that the cattle and sheep miRNA database can be providing useful information for investigating biological functions of miRNAs in cattle and sheep. Furthermore, the bioinformatics approach is a good manner for studying these functionsکلیدواژه ها

اطلاعات بیشتر در مورد COI
COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.
کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
