High-throughput sequencing of Arabidopsis microRNAs: evidence for frequent birth and death of MIRNA genes.

In plants, microRNAs (miRNAs) comprise one of two classes of small RNAs that function primarily as negative regulators at the posttranscriptional level. Several MIRNA genes in the plant kingdom are ancient, with conservation extending between angiosperms and the mosses, whereas many others are more...
