Deep sequencing of small RNA libraries reveals dynamic regulation of conserved and novel microRNAs and microRNA-stars during silkworm development

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>In eukaryotes, microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as critical regulators of gene expression. The Silkworm (<it>Bombyx mori </it>L.) is one of the most suitable lepidopteran insects for studying the molecular aspects of metam...
