| Abstract | PURPOSE: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs of approximately 18 to 22 nucleotides in length that regulate gene expression. They are widely expressed in the retina, being both required for its normal development and perturbed in disease. The aim of this study was to apply new high-throughput sequencing techniques to more fully characterize the miRNAs and other small RNAs expressed in the retina and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)/choroid of the mouse. METHODS: Retina and RPE/choroid were dissected from eyes of 3-month-old C57BL/6J mice. Small RNA libraries were prepared and deep sequencing performed on a genome analyzer. Reads were annotated by alignment to miRBase, other noncoding RNA databases, and the mouse genome. RESULTS: Annotation of 9 million reads to 320 miRNAs in retina and 340 in RPE/choroid provides the most comprehensive profiling of miRNAs to date. Two novel miRNAs were identified in retina. Members of the sensory organ-specific miR-183, -182, -96 cluster were among the most highly expressed, retina-enriched miRNAs. Remarkably, miRNA 'isomiRs,' which vary slightly in length and are differentially detected by Taqman RT-qPCR assays, existed for all the microRNAs identified in both tissues. More variation occurred at the 3' ends, including nontemplated additions of T and A. Drosha-independent mirtron miRNAs and other small RNAs derived from snoRNAs were also detected. CONCLUSIONS: Deep sequencing has revealed the complexity of small RNA expression in the mouse retina and RPE/choroid. This knowledge will improve the design and interpretation of future functional studies of the role of miRNAs and other small RNAs in retinal disease. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
