Identification and characterization of novel amphioxus microRNAs by Solexa sequencing

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: microRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. While the number of known human and murine miRNAs is continuously increasing, information regarding miRNAs from other species such as amphioxus remains limited. RESULTS: We combined Solexa sequencing with computational techniques to identify novel miRNAs in the amphioxus species B....
