Project description:Transcriptional profiling of the melanoma SK-mel-103 comparing control untreated cells with cells treated with 1ug/ml of polyinosine-polycytidylic acid (pIC) or 1ug/ml of pIC with polyethyleneimine (PEI) for 4 or 10 hours. Keywords: Treatment Four-condition experiment, SK-Mel-103 untreated vs. SK-Mel-103 treated with pIC/pIC+PEI at 4 and 10 hours. One replicate per array.

Project description:Deep sequencing of small RNAs from three Phytophthora species, P. infestans, P. ramorum and P. sojae, was done to systematically analyze small RNA-generating components of Phytophthora genomes. We found that each species produces two distinct small RNA populations that are predominantly 21- or 25-nucleotides long. We present evidence that 25-nucleotide small RNAs are short-interfering RNAs that silence repetitive genetic elements. In contrast, 21-nucleotide small RNAs are associated with inverted repeats, including a novel microRNA family, and may function at the post-transcriptional level. Phytophthora infestans mycelium small RNAs were sequenced and aligned to the P. infestans genome for analysis.
