Evidence for plant-derived xenomiRs based on a large-scale analysis of public small RNA sequencing data from human samples.

In recent years, an increasing number of studies have reported the presence of plant miRNAs in human samples, which resulted in a hypothesis asserting the existence of plant-derived exogenous microRNA (xenomiR).
