Abstract excerpt
In animals and plants, non-coding small RNAs regulate the expression of many genes at the post-transcriptional level. Recently, many non-coding small RNAs (sRNAs) have also been found to regulate a variety of important biological processes in bacteria, including social traits, but little is known about the phylogenetic or mechanistic origins of such bacterial sRNAs. Here we propose a phylogenetic origin of the...
