Clustering pattern and evolution characteristic of microRNAs in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella)

Abstract Background A considerable fraction of microRNAs (miRNAs) are highly conserved, and certain miRNAs correspond to genomic clusters. The clustering of miRNAs can be advantageous, possibly by allowing coordinated expression. However, little is known about the evolutionary forces responsible for...
