Evolution of MicroRNA Biogenesis Genes in the Sterlet (<i>Acipenser ruthenus</i>) and Other Polyploid Vertebrates

Evolution of MicroRNA Biogenesis Genes in the Sterlet (<i>Acipenser ruthenus</i>) and Other Polyploid Vertebrates

MicroRNAs play a crucial role in eukaryotic gene regulation. For a long time, only little was known about microRNA-based gene regulatory mechanisms in polyploid animal genomes due to difficulties of polyploid genome assembly. However, in recent years, several polyploid genomes of fish, amphibian, an...
