Evolution of microRNA in primates.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2017

McCreight Jey C, Schneider Sean E, Wilburn Damien B, Swanson Willie J

Abstract excerpt

MicroRNA play an important role in post-transcriptional regulation of most transcripts in the human genome, but their evolution across the primate lineage is largely uncharacterized. A particular miRNA can have one to thousands of messenger RNA targets, establishing the potential for a small change in sequence or overall miRNA structure to have profound phenotypic effects. However, the majority of non-human...
