Profiling of small RNA populations in rice total extract and purified AGO1 complexes

microRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small silencing RNAs that have regulatory roles in gene expression. miRNAs interact with Argonaute (AGO) proteins to form effector complexes that can cleave target mRNAs or repress their translation. Rice encodes four AGO1 homologs (AGO1a, AGO1b, AGO1c, and AGO1d). We used an RNAi approach to knock down the four AGO1s. The RNAi lines displayed pleiotropic developmental phenotypes and had increased accumulation of miRNA targets, suggesting the involvement of AGO1...

Provenance — who produced it, who reused it

Linked to 2 papers in the literature. Roles are inferred factual signals (who deposited the data vs who reused it), with counts — never a judgement about any author.

Standardized, field-standard QC computed by touching the data — every metric states how it was obtained

No quantitative QC rubric exists for this data type yet, so it is deliberately left unscored — this is an honest "not applicable", not a poor rating.

measured = computed from the data · extrapolated/reported = derived or from the repository · dq-1.0 · provisional — verify independently
