BACKGROUND: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcripts that are 200 bp or longer, do not encode proteins,
and potentially play important roles in eukaryotic gene regulation. However, the number, characteristics and
expression inheritance pattern of lncRNAs in maize are still largely unknown.
RESULTS: By exploiting available public EST databases, maize...
This study examines dissolved rhenium (Re) as a function of water runoff using river samples from two contrasting watersheds, the Eel and Umpqua Rivers in the Pacific Northwest, USA. These watersheds share many key characteristics in terms of size, discharge, climate, and vegetation, but they have a 10-fold difference in...
