Alternative miRNAs? Human sequences misidentified as plant miRNAs in plant studies and in human plasma

2018-02-28

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> A 2017 study reported that “Plant miRNAs found in human circulating system provide evidences of cross kingdom RNAi”. Analysis of two human blood plasma sequencing datasets was said to provide evidence for uptake of plant miRNAs into human plasma. The results were also purportedly inconsistent with contamination. <h4>Methods: </h4>: Sequences from public datasets and miRNA databases were comp...
