Identification and comparative analysis of the Tegillarca granosa haemocytes microRNA transcriptome in response to Cd using a deep sequencing approach.

BACKGROUND: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous non-coding small RNAs (sRNAs) that can base pair with their target mRNAs, which represses their translation or induces their degradation in various biological processes. To identify miRNAs regulated by heavy metal stress, we constructed two sRNA librarie...
