IMPORTANT NOTE: This project has been migrated to GitHub and is no longer maintained here. Please refer to: https://github.com/suhrig/pingpongpro Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs, predominantly active in the germ line. There, they limit the detrimental effect of transposons on the genome. They do so by forming a complex with Piwi proteins. The complex binds and then cleaves mRNA molecules of active transposons. The resulting mRNA fragments induce the production of more piRNAs, thus reinforcing the anti-transposon response in a feed-forward loop called the "ping-pong cycle". ...

This framework allows the definition of attributes, entities and relations as used in entity-relationship (ER) models. It will then handle input and representation of data appropriately.
