Investigating microRNA-mediated regulation of the nascent nuclear transcripts in plants: a bioinformatics workflow.

abstract：:One of the most complex and computationally intensive tasks of genome sequence analysis is genome assembly. Even today, few centres have the resources, in both software and hardware, to assemble a genome from the thousands or millions of individual sequences generated in a whole-genome shotgun sequencing project. With...
