Characterization of the small RNA transcriptome of the diatom, Thalassiosira pseudonana.

Characterization of the small RNA transcriptome of the diatom, Thalassiosira pseudonana.

This study presents the first characterization of endogenous small RNAs in a diatom, Thalassiosira pseudonana. Small RNAs act as transcriptional and translational regulators, controlling specific target genes involved in various cellular functions. Diatoms are unicellular photosynthetic organisms th...
