Species-specific microRNA regulation influences phenotypic variability: perspectives on species-specific microRNA regulation.

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic divergence among animal species may be due in part to species-specific (SS) regulation of gene expression by small, non-coding regulatory RNAs termed "microRNAs". This phenomenon can be modulated by several variables. First, microRNA genes vary by their level of conservation, many of them being SS, or unique to a particular evolutionary lineage. Second, microRNA expression levels vary spatially and...
