An earlier meta-analysis on gene expression data derived from four microarray, two cDNA library, and one SAGE experiment had identified RGS5 as one of only ten non-housekeeping genes that were reported to be expressed in human trabecular meshwork (TM) cells by all studies. RGS5 encodes regulator of G-protein signaling-5. The TM tissue is the route of aqueous fluid outflow, and is relevant to the pathology of glaucoma. MicroRNAs constitute the most recently identified components of the cellular machinery for gene regulation in eukaryotic cells. Given our long standing interest in glaucoma, we aimed to identify miRNAs that may target RGS5.

A research tool company focused on the creation of the largest commercial collection of full-length human cDNAs in a standard expression vector. The availability of the complete human genome sequence and the subsequent development of genome-based tools have enabled the identification of relevant drug targets through system biology approaches. OriGene''s vision is to prepare comprehensive, genome wide research tools and technology platforms to enable scientists to study complete biological pathways, thus enabling a better understanding of disease mechanisms including cancer and stem cell research. OriGene Technologies uses high-throughput, genome wide approach to develop products for pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and academic research. Their flagship product is the cDNA clone collection, a searchable gene bank of over 30,000 human full-length TrueClone cDNA collection and over 25,000 TrueORF cDNA clones. From their TrueORF cDNA clones, they have developed the largest offering of full length human proteins expressed in mammalian cells, ideal for functional studies. Their TrueMAB project develops mouse monoclonal antibodies against protein antigens with the goal to develop protein assays for every human protein. They also offer complete molecular biology services from codon optimization, gene synthesis, protein expression and assay development. In addition, they offer unique gene expression products such as TissueScan cancer tissue qPCR arrays and tissue biorepository for biomarker discovery and validation.
View all literature mentionsWeb tool to predict biological targets of miRNAs by searching for presence of conserved 8mer, 7mer and 6mer sites that match seed region of each miRNA. Nonconserved sites are also predicted and sites with mismatches in seed region that are compensated by conserved 3' pairing. Used to search for predicted microRNA targets in mammals.
