    Abstract: MicroRNAs are a class of non-protein coding small RNAs that regulate genes expression at post-transcriptional levels. Increasing evidence indicates miRNAs play key roles in a broad range of biological processes. In this study, based on the phylogenetic conservation of microRNAs, a combined bioinformatics and sequences homology comparison approach w... Show More
