Direct sequencing and expression analysis of a large number of miRNAs in <it>Aedes aegypti </it>and a multi-species survey of novel mosquito miRNAs

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a novel class of gene regulators whose biogenesis involves hairpin structures called precursor miRNAs, or pre-miRNAs. A pre-miRNA is processed to make a miRNA:miRNA* duplex, which is then separated to generate...
