Genome-wide identification of reverse complementary microRNA genes in plants.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are ∼21-nucleotide small RNAs (sRNAs) with essential regulatory roles in plants. They are generated from stem-loop-structured precursors through two sequential Dicer-like 1 (DCL1)-mediated cleavages. To date, hundreds of plant miRNAs have been uncovered. However, the question, whe...
