Computational identification and comparative analysis of miRNA precursors in three palm species.
Article in Planta, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
MAIN
conclusionIn the present study, miRNA precursors in the genomes of three palm species were identified. Analyzes of sequence conservation and biological function of their putative targets contribute to understand the roles of miRNA in palm biology. MicroRNAs are small RNAs of 20-25 nucleotides in length, with important functions in the regulation of gene expression. Recent genome sequencing of the palm species Elaeis guineensis, Elaeis oleifera and Phoenix dactylifera have enabled the discovery of miRNA genes, which can be used as biotechnological tools in palm trees breeding. The goal of this study is the identification of miRNA precursors in the genomes of these species and their possible biological roles suggested by the mature miRNA-based regulation of target genes. Mature miRNA sequences from Arabidopsis thaliana, Oryza sativa, and Zea mays available at the miRBase were used to predict microRNA precursors in the palm genomes. Three hundred and thirty-eight precursors, ranging from 76 to 220 nucleotide (nt) in size and distributed in 33 families were identified. Moreover, we also identified 266 miRNA precursors of Musa acuminata, which are phylogenetically close to palms species. To understand the biological function of palm miRNAs, 374 putative miRNA targets were identified. An enrichment analysis of target-gene function was carried out using the agriGO tool. The results showed that the targets are involved in plant developmental processes, mainly regulating root development. Our findings contribute to increase the knowledge on microRNA roles in palm biology and could help breeding programs of palm trees.
