Domestication of transposable elements into MicroRNA genes in plants.
Transposable elements (TE) usually take up a substantial portion of eukaryotic genome. Activities of TEs can cause genome instability or gene mutations that are harmful or even disastrous to the host. TEs also contribute to gene and genome evolution at many aspects. Part of miRNA genes in mammals ha...
