Abstract excerpt
Mounting evidence points to differences in gene regulation as a major source of phenotypic variation. MicroRNA-mediated post-transcriptional regulation has emerged recently as a key factor controlling gene activity during development. MicroRNA genes are abundant in genomes, acting as managers of gene expression by directing translational repression. Thus, understanding the role of microRNA sequence variation...
