Abstract:
microRNA molecules have been shown to play various significant roles in many physiological and pathophysiological processes in living organisms. The tremendous interest in these molecules has led to the significant development and constant release of a number of computational tools useful for basic as well as advanced miRNA-related analyses. These approaches have various constantly evolving utilities, such as detection, target prediction, functional annotation, and many others. In this chapter, we provide an overview of several computational tools useful for broadly defined plant miRNA analysis.

Targets for Drug Action: Overview
Receptors are either membrane-spanning or intracellular proteins, which upon binding a ligand, get activated and transmit the signal downstream to elicit a response. Drugs bind receptors, either mimicking the action of endogenous ligands or blocking the receptor activity to bring about a modified response. Nearly 35% of approved drugs target the G...
