Retro-miRs: Novel and functional miRNAs originated from mRNA retrotransposition

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Reverse transcribed gene copies, or retrocopies, have emerged as a major source of evolutionary novelties. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, highly conserved RNAs molecules among species that serve as key post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression. The birth and subsequent evolution of miRNAs have been addressed, but not fully. <h4>Results</h4> In this study, we carried...
