Transcription of the major neurospora crassa microRNA-like small RNAs relies on RNA polymerase III.
Most plant and animal microRNAs (miRNAs) are transcribed by RNA polymerase II. We previously discovered miRNA-like small RNAs (milRNAs) in the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa and uncovered at least four different pathways for milRNA production. To understand the evolutionary origin of milRNAs,...
