Drosophila primary microRNA-8 encodes a microRNA-encoded peptide acting in parallel of miR-8
Abstract Background Recent genome-wide studies of many species reveal the existence of a myriad of RNAs differing in size, coding potential and function. Among these are the long non-coding RNAs, some of them producing functional small peptides via the translation of short ORFs. It now appears that...
