Characterization of novel precursor miRNAs using next generation sequencing and prediction of miRNA targets in Atlantic halibut.
BACKGROUND: microRNAs (miRNAs) are implicated in regulation of many cellular processes. miRNAs are processed to their mature functional form in a step-wise manner by multiple proteins and cofactors in the nucleus and cytoplasm. Many miRNAs are conserved across vertebrates. Mature miRNAs have recentl...
