TL;DR: The draft assembly of the 20-gigabase genome of Norway spruce (Picea abies), the first available for any gymnosperm, is presented, revealing numerous long (>10,000 base pairs) introns, gene-like fragments, uncharacterized long non-coding RNAs and short RNAs, which opens up new genomic avenues for conifer forestry and breeding.

TL;DR: It is concluded that expression levels derived from the total RNA fraction be regarded as an appropriate estimate of the amount of mRNAs present in a given cell population, independent of the coding sequence length or UTRs.

TL;DR: The advantage of integrative analysis for identifying tumor-related genes amidst numerous background mutations is demonstrated by relating genomic variation to expression/protein abundance data and use gene networks to reveal implicated pathways.

TL;DR: RrpC acts at the post-transcriptional level and is involved in spreading of RNA silencing signals, both in the 5′ and 3′ directions, and reveals an asymmetric distribution of the DIRS-1 small RNAs, both along DIRs-1 and with respect to sense and antisense orientation.

TL;DR: This work describes how to use high-throughput sequencing followed by bioinformatics and northern blot to identify one particular class of small RNA, microRNAs.
