regulate gene expression and repress transposons and viruses. AGO/PIWI family proteins
sort functional sRNAs based on size, 5′-nucleotide and other sequence features. In plants
and some animals, viral sRNAs are extremely diverse and cover the entire viral genome
sequences, which allows for de novo reconstruction of a complete viral genome by deep
sequencing and bioinformatics analysis of viral sRNAs. Previously, we have developed a …
