Genomic features and computational identification of human microRNAs under long-range developmental regulation
Sheng, Ying; Previti, Christopher (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-05-27)Background: Recent functional studies have demonstrated that many microRNAs (miRNAs) are expressed by RNA polymerase II in a specific spatiotemporal manner during the development of organisms and play a key role in ... -
Prediction of CpG-island function: CpG clustering vs. sliding-window methods
Hackenberg, Michael; Barturen, Guillermo; Carpena, Pedro; Luque-Escamilla, Pedro L.; Previti, Christopher; Oliver, José L. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-05-26)Background Unmethylated stretches of CpG dinucleotides (CpG islands) are an outstanding property of mammal genomes. Conventionally, these regions are detected by sliding window approaches using %G + C, CpG observed/expected ... -
Profile analysis and prediction of tissue-specific CpG island methylation classes
Previti, Christopher; Harari, Oscar; Zwir, Igor; del Val, Coral (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009-04-21)Background: The computational prediction of DNA methylation has become an important topic in the recent years due to its role in the epigenetic control of normal and cancer-related processes. While previous prediction ...
