RESUMO
We are reporting whole-genome sequences of nine Vibrio sp. isolates closely related to the waterborne human pathogen Vibrio cholerae. These isolates were recovered from sources, including human samples, from different regions of the United States. Genome analysis suggests that this group of isolates represents a highly divergent basal V. cholerae lineage or a closely related novel species.
RESUMO
Biomarker identification is often associated with the diagnosis and evaluation of various diseases. Recently, the role of microRNA (miRNA) has been implicated in the development of diseases, particularly cancer. With the advent of next-generation sequencing, the amount of data on miRNA has increased tremendously in the last decade, requiring new bioinformatics approaches for processing and storing new information. New strategies have been developed in mining these sequencing datasets to allow better understanding toward the actions of miRNAs. As a result, many databases have also been established to disseminate these findings. This review focuses on several curated databases of miRNAs and their targets from both predicted and validated sources.
