MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short, regulatory RNAs that act as post-transcriptional repressors
of gene expression in diverse biological contexts. The emergence of small RNA-mediated …

Molecular markers for tracing animal sample origins and compositions are critical for
applications such as parasite detection, contamination screening, and sample …

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

Small non-coding RNAs have gained substantial attention due to their roles in animal
development and human disorders. Among them, microRNAs are special because …

Long-branch attraction is a systematic artifact that results in erroneous groupings of fast-
evolving taxa. The combination of short, deep internodes in tandem with long-branch …

The bilaterally symmetric animals (Bilateria) are considered to comprise two monophyletic
groups, Protostomia (Ecdysozoa and the Lophotrochozoa) and Deuterostomia (Chordata …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are post-transcriptional regulators that finetune gene expression via
translational repression or degradation of their target mRNAs. Despite their functional …

The evolution of microRNAs (miRNAs) has been studied extensively to understand their
roles in gene regulation and evolutionary processes. This review focuses on how miRNA …

We present here miRTrace, the first algorithm to trace microRNA sequencing data back to
their taxonomic origins. This is a challenge with profound implications for forensics …

Abstract Background and Aims The functional specialization of microRNA and its target
genes is often an important factor in the establishment of spatiotemporal patterns of gene …
