High throughput approaches reveal splicing of primary microRNA transcripts and tissue specific expression of mature microRNAs in <it>Vitis vinifera</it>

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>MicroRNAs are short (~21 base) single stranded RNAs that, in plants, are generally coded by specific genes and cleaved specifically from hairpin precursors. MicroRNAs are critical for the regulation of multiple developmental, stress...
