MicroRNA analysis in model species based on evolutionary rates.

Abstract excerpt

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are major post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression. In an attempt to gain insights into miRNAs at the macroevolutionary level, we performed a systematic analysis of miRNAs in six model organisms based on their evolutionary rates. First, we calculated their miRNA evolutionary rates, and found that they did not correlate with the complexity of the organisms. A correlation between...
