MicroRNAs are important regulators in many eukaryotic lineages. Typical miRNAs have a
length of about 22nt and are processed from precursors that form a characteristic hairpin …

Homology-based annotation of short RNAs, including microRNAs, is a difficult problem
because their inherently small size limits the available information. Highly sensitive …

Tunicates are the sister group of vertebrates and thus occupy a key position for
investigations into vertebrate innovations as well as into the consequences of the vertebrate …

GSF) 对GSF 细胞microRNA (miRNA) 表达谱影响, 探究miRNA 在orfv 感染过程中的作用及 …

The number of genes belonging to a multi-gene family usually varies substantially over their
evolutionary history as a consequence of gene duplications and losses. A first step toward …

Figure 1 depicts the processing steps performed by miRNAture by the blast homology mode
to generate extended regions. As an example, the detection of homologous candidates were …

Best hits were retrieved if they reported an identity≥ 80% and did not present gaps in the
alignment. With this strategy was detected a number of 526 species that reported high …

As described over 20 years ago with the discovery of the RNA interference (RNAi), double-
stranded RNAs occupied key roles in regulation and as defense-line in animal cells. This …
