miRNAs play an important role in the processes of cell differentiation, biological development, and physiology. Here we investigated the molecular mechanisms regulating milk secretion and quality in dairy cows via transcriptome analyses of mammary gland tissues from dairy cows during the high-protein/high-fat, low-protein/low-fat or dry periods. To characterize the important roles of miRNAs and mRNAs in milk quality and to elucidate their regulatory networks in relation to milk secretion and quality, an integrated analysis was performed. A total of 25 core miRNAs were found to be differentially expressed (DE) during lactation compared to non-lactation, and these miRNAs were involved in epithelial cell terminal differentiation and mammary gland development. In addition, comprehensive analysis of mRNA and miRNA expression between high-protein/high-fat group and low-protein/low-fat groups indicated that, 38 miRNAs and 944 mRNAs were differentially expressed between them. Furthermore, 38 DE miRNAs putatively negatively regulated 253 DE mRNAs. The putative genes (253 DE mRNAs) were enriched in lipid biosynthetic process and amino acid transmembrane transporter activity. Moreover, putative DE genes were significantly enriched in fatty acid (FA) metabolism, biosynthesis of amino acids, synthesis and degradation of ketone bodies and biosynthesis of unsaturated FAs. Our results suggest that DE miRNAs might play roles as regulators of milk quality and milk secretion during mammary gland differentiation.

View all literature mentionsIntegrated database resource consisting of 16 main databases, broadly categorized into systems information, genomic information, and chemical information. In particular, gene catalogs in completely sequenced genomes are linked to higher-level systemic functions of cell, organism, and ecosystem. Analysis tools are also available. KEGG may be used as reference knowledge base for biological interpretation of large-scale datasets generated by sequencing and other high-throughput experimental technologies.

View all literature mentionsDatabase of known and predicted protein interactions. The interactions include direct (physical) and indirect (functional) associations and are derived from four sources: Genomic Context, High-throughput experiments, (Conserved) Coexpression, and previous knowledge. STRING quantitatively integrates interaction data from these sources for a large number of organisms, and transfers information between these organisms where applicable. The database currently covers 5''214''234 proteins from 1133 organisms. (2013)

View all literature mentionsTHIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on February 28,2023. Software Python package that provides infrastructure to process data from high-throughput sequencing assays. While the main purpose of HTSeq is to allow you to write your own analysis scripts, customized to your needs, there are also a couple of stand-alone scripts for common tasks that can be used without any Python knowledge.
View all literature mentionsThe Biological Networks Gene Ontology tool (BiNGO) is an open-source Java tool to determine which Gene Ontology (GO) terms are significantly overrepresented in a set of genes. BiNGO can be used either on a list of genes, pasted as text, or interactively on subgraphs of biological networks visualized in Cytoscape. BiNGO maps the predominant functional themes of the tested gene set on the GO hierarchy, and takes advantage of Cytoscape''''s versatile visualization environment to produce an intuitive and customizable visual representation of the results. Platform: Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible, Unix compatible
View all literature mentionsThe Rfam database is a collection of RNA families, each represented by multiple sequence alignments, consensus secondary structures and covariance models (CMs). The families in Rfam break down into three broad functional classes: Non-coding RNA genes, structured cis-regulatory elements and self-splicing RNAs. Typically these functional RNAs often have a conserved secondary structure which may be better preserved than the RNA sequence. The CMs used to describe each family are a slightly more complicated relative of the profile hidden Markov models (HMMs) used by Pfam. CMs can simultaneously model RNA sequence and the structure in an elegant and accurate fashion. Rfam is also available via FTP. You can find data in Rfam in various ways... * Analyze your RNA sequence for Rfam matches * View Rfam family annotation and alignments * View Rfam clan details * Query Rfam by keywords * Fetch families or sequences by NCBI taxonomy * Enter any type of accession or ID to jump to the page for a Rfam family, sequence or genome
View all literature mentionsWeb tool to predict biological targets of miRNAs by searching for presence of conserved 8mer, 7mer and 6mer sites that match seed region of each miRNA. Nonconserved sites are also predicted and sites with mismatches in seed region that are compensated by conserved 3' pairing. Used to search for predicted microRNA targets in mammals.
