Identifying the small over-represented circuitry patterns in these networks helps generate hypotheses about the functional basis of such complex processes. Network motif discovery is a systematic way of achieving this goal. However, a reliable network motif discovery outcome requires generating random background networks which are the result of a uniform and independent graph sampling method. To date, there has been no method to numerically evaluate whether any network motif discovery algorithm performs as intended on realistically sized datasets&amp;mdash;thus it was not possible to assess the validity of resulting network motifs.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Results&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In this work, we present IndeCut, the first method to date that characterizes network motif finding algorithm performance in terms of uniform sampling on realistically sized networks. We demonstrate that it is critical to use IndeCut prior to running any network motif finder for two reasons. First, IndeCut indicates the number of samples needed for a tool to produce an outcome that is both reproducible and accurate. Second, IndeCut allows users to choose the tool that generates samples in the most independent fashion for their network of interest among many available options.&lt;/div&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Joanna Friesner</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sarah M.

A well-organized scientific community has used this small reference plant species to make numerous fundamental plant biology discoveries (Provart et al., 2016). Due to an extremely well-annotated genome and advances in high-throughput sequencing, our understanding of this organism and other plant species has become even more intricate and complex. Computational resources, including CyVerse,3 Araport,4 The Arabidopsis Information Resource (TAIR),5 and BAR,6 have further facilitated novel findings with just the click of a mouse. As we move toward understanding biological systems, Arabidopsis researchers will need to use more quantitative and computational approaches to extract novel biological findings from these data. Here, we discuss guidelines, skill sets, and core competencies that should be considered when developing curricula or training undergraduate or graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and faculty. A selected case study provides more specificity as to the concrete issues plant biologists face and how best to address such challenges.&lt;/div&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brady, Siobhan M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zhang, Lifang</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Megraw, Molly</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martinez, Natalia J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jiang, Eric</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Yi, Charles S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Liu, Weilin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zeng, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taylor-Teeples, Mallorie</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kim, Dahae</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ahnert, Sebastian</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ohler, Uwe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ware, Doreen</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Walhout, Albertha J M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Benfey, Philip N</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A stele-enriched gene regulatory network in the Arabidopsis root.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol Syst Biol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol.

Although many studies have focused on identifying downstream targets of these molecules, less is known about the factors that regulate their differential expression. We used data from high spatial resolution gene expression experiments and yeast one-hybrid (Y1H) and two-hybrid (Y2H) assays to delineate a subset of interactions occurring within a gene regulatory network (GRN) that determines tissue-specific TF and miRNA expression in plants. We find that upstream TFs are expressed in more diverse cell types than their targets and that promoters that are bound by a relatively large number of TFs correspond to key developmental regulators. The regulatory consequence of many TFs for their target was experimentally determined using genetic analysis. Remarkably, molecular phenotypes were identified for 65% of the TFs, but morphological phenotypes were associated with only 16%. This indicates that the GRN is robust, and that gene expression changes may be canalized or buffered.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kawahara, Yukio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Megraw, Molly</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kreider, Edward</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Iizasa, Hisashi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Valente, Louis</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hatzigeorgiou, Artemis G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nishikura, Kazuko</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Frequency and fate of microRNA editing in human brain.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nucleic Acids Res</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nucleic Acids Res.</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adenosine</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adenosine Deaminase</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Animals</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Base Sequence</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brain</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Inosine</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mice</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MicroRNAs</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Molecular Sequence Data</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">RNA Editing</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">RNA Precursors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">RNA Processing, Post-Transcriptional</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">RNA-Binding Proteins</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2008</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2008 Sep</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">36</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5270-80</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Primary transcripts of certain microRNA (miRNA) genes (pri-miRNAs) are subject to RNA editing that converts adenosine to inosine (A--&amp;gt;I RNA editing). However, the frequency of the pri-miRNA editing and the fate of edited pri-miRNAs remain largely to be determined. Examination of already known pri-miRNA editing sites indicated that adenosine residues of the UAG triplet sequence might be edited more frequently. In the present study, therefore, we conducted a large-scale survey of human pri-miRNAs containing the UAG triplet sequence. By direct sequencing of RT-PCR products corresponding to pri-miRNAs, we examined 209 pri-miRNAs and identified 43 UAG and also 43 non-UAG editing sites in 47 pri-miRNAs, which were highly edited in human brain. In vitro miRNA processing assay using recombinant Drosha-DGCR8 and Dicer-TRBP (the human immuno deficiency virus transactivating response RNA-binding protein) complexes revealed that a majority of pri-miRNA editing is likely to interfere with the miRNA processing steps. In addition, four new edited miRNAs with altered seed sequences were identified by targeted cloning and sequencing of the miRNAs that would be processed from edited pri-miRNAs. Our studies predict that approximately 16% of human pri-miRNAs are subject to A--&amp;gt;I editing and, thus, miRNA editing could have a large impact on the miRNA-mediated gene silencing.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">16</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zhang, Lin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Volinia, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bonome, Tomas</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Calin, George Adrian</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Greshock, Joel</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Yang, Nuo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Liu, Chang-Gong</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giannakakis, Antonis</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alexiou, Pangiotis</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hasegawa, Kosei</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Johnstone, Cameron N</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Megraw, Molly S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adams, Sarah</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lassus, Heini</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Huang, Jia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kaur, Sippy</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Liang, Shun</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sethupathy, Praveen</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Leminen, Arto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Simossis, Victor A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sandaltzopoulos, Raphael</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Naomoto, Yoshio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Katsaros, Dionyssios</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gimotty, Phyllis A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DeMichele, Angela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Huang, Qihong</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bützow, Ralf</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rustgi, Anil K</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Weber, Barbara L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Birrer, Michael J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hatzigeorgiou, Artemis G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Croce, Carlo M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Coukos, George</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genomic and epigenetic alterations deregulate microRNA expression in human epithelial ovarian cancer.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Proc.

We studied miRNA deregulation in human epithelial ovarian cancer by integrative genomic approach, including miRNA microarray (n = 106), array-based comparative genomic hybridization (n = 109), cDNA microarray (n = 76), and tissue array (n = 504). miRNA expression is markedly down-regulated in malignant transformation and tumor progression. Genomic copy number loss and epigenetic silencing, respectively, may account for the down-regulation of approximately 15% and at least approximately 36% of miRNAs in advanced ovarian tumors and miRNA down-regulation contributes to a genome-wide transcriptional deregulation. Last, eight miRNAs located in the chromosome 14 miRNA cluster (Dlk1-Gtl2 domain) were identified as potential tumor suppressor genes. Therefore, our results suggest that miRNAs may offer new biomarkers and therapeutic targets in epithelial ovarian cancer.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">19</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Megraw, Molly</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baev, Vesselin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rusinov, Ventsislav</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jensen, Shane T</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kalantidis, Kriton</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hatzigeorgiou, Artemis G</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MicroRNA promoter element discovery in Arabidopsis.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">RNA</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">RNA</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arabidopsis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Base Sequence</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Binding Sites</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Databases, Genetic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Feedback, Physiological</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genes, Plant</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MicroRNAs</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Promoter Regions, Genetic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">TATA Box</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Transcription Factors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Transcription Initiation Site</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2006</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2006 Sep</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1612-9</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;In this study we present a method of identifying Arabidopsis miRNA promoter elements using known transcription factor binding motifs. We provide a comparative analysis of the representation of these elements in miRNA promoters, protein-coding gene promoters, and random genomic sequences. We report five transcription factor (TF) binding motifs that show evidence of overrepresentation in miRNA promoter regions relative to the promoter regions of protein-coding genes. This investigation is based on the analysis of 800-nucleotide regions upstream of 63 experimentally verified Transcription Start Sites (TSS) for miRNA primary transcripts in Arabidopsis. While the TATA-box binding motif was also previously reported by Xie and colleagues, the transcription factors AtMYC2, ARF, SORLREP3, and LFY are identified for the first time as overrepresented binding motifs in miRNA promoters.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zhang, Lin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Huang, Jia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Yang, Nuo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Greshock, Joel</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Megraw, Molly S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giannakakis, Antonis</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Liang, Shun</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Naylor, Tara L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barchetti, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ward, Michelle R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Yao, George</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Medina, Angelica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">O'brien-Jenkins, Ann</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Katsaros, Dionyssios</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hatzigeorgiou, Artemis</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gimotty, Phyllis A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Weber, Barbara L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Coukos, George</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">microRNAs exhibit high frequency genomic alterations in human cancer.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Proc.

To determine genomewide miRNA DNA copy number abnormalities in cancer, 283 known human miRNA genes were analyzed by high-resolution array-based comparative genomic hybridization in 227 human ovarian cancer, breast cancer, and melanoma specimens. A high proportion of genomic loci containing miRNA genes exhibited DNA copy number alterations in ovarian cancer (37.1%), breast cancer (72.8%), and melanoma (85.9%), where copy number alterations observed in &amp;gt;15% tumors were considered significant for each miRNA gene. We identified 41 miRNA genes with gene copy number changes that were shared among the three cancer types (26 with gains and 15 with losses) as well as miRNA genes with copy number changes that were unique to each tumor type. Importantly, we show that miRNA copy changes correlate with miRNA expression. Finally, we identified high frequency copy number abnormalities of Dicer1, Argonaute2, and other miRNA-associated genes in breast and ovarian cancer as well as melanoma. These findings support the notion that copy number alterations of miRNAs and their regulatory genes are highly prevalent in cancer and may account partly for the frequent miRNA gene deregulation reported in several tumor types.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">24</style></issue></record></records></xml>
