No More Tears: Mining Sequencing Data for Novel Bt Cry Toxins with CryProcessor
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a natural pathogen of insects and some other groups of invertebrates Bath Safety that produces three-domain Cry (3d-Cry) toxins, which are highly host-specific pesticidal proteins.These proteins represent the most commonly used bioinsecticides in the world and are used for commercial purposes on the market of insectic
Bioinformatics analysis of the microRNA genes associated with type 2 cardiorenal syndrome
Abstract Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important regulatory factors in the normal developmental stages of the heart and kidney.However, it is currently unclear how miRNA is expressed in type 2 cardiorenal syndrome (CRS).This study aimed to detect the differential expression of miRNAs and to clarify the main enrichment pathways of differentially
