Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are∼ 21-nucleotide-long regulatory RNAs that arise from
endonucleolytic processing of hairpin precursors. Many function as essential …

Marine zooplankton comprise a phylogenetically and functionally diverse assemblage of
protistan and metazoan consumers that occupy multiple trophic levels in pelagic food webs …

We describe an update of MirGeneDB, the manually curated microRNA gene database.
Adhering to uniform and consistent criteria for microRNA annotation and nomenclature, we …

Understanding the nature of organic matter flux in the ocean remains a major goal of
oceanography because it impacts some of the most important processes in the ocean …

A critical driver of the ocean carbon cycle is the downward flux of sinking organic particles,
which acts to lower the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration. This downward flux is …

Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) are swarming, oceanic crustaceans, up to two inches
long, and best known as prey for whales and penguins–but they have another important …

Biological oceanic processes, principally the surface production, sinking and interior
remineralization of organic particles, keep atmospheric CO2 lower than if the ocean was …

The efficiency of the ocean's biological carbon pump (BCP eff–here the product of particle
export and transfer efficiencies) plays a key role in the air–sea partitioning of CO 2. Despite …

An ecosystem-based flow analysis model was used to study carbon transfer from primary
production (PP) to mesopelagic fish via three groups of copepods: detritivores that access …
