Journal ArticleDOI

Circular RNAs are miRNA sponges and can be used as a new class of biomarker.

TL;DR: The biogenesis, properties and function of endogenous circRNA sponges, with a special focus on those related to human cancer, are reviewed and the possibility of using circRNAs as molecular markers for the diagnosis of diseases is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glutathione peroxidase family - an evolutionary overview.

TL;DR: The complex relationships and evolutionary rates of this gene family suggest that basal glutathione peroxidase classes, present in all kingdoms, have originated from independent evolutionary events such as gene duplication, gene losses, lateral gene transfer among invertebrates and vertebrates or plants.
Journal ArticleDOI

The evolution and diversification of Dicers in plants

TL;DR: The authors examined the poplar and rice genomes and found that they contain five and six Dicer-like genes, respectively, which suggests that plants require a basic set of four Dicer types which were present before the divergence of mono-and dicotyledonous plants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of blood microRNAs associated to Parkinsońs disease

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that blood samples can be used as a source of miRNA identification associated to Parkinson's disease (PD) and a set of six differentially expressed microRNAs were identified.
