Genome-wide survey of miRNAs and their evolutionary history in the ascidian, Halocynthia roretzi

Abstract Background miRNAs play essential roles in the modulation of cellular functions via degradation and/or translation attenuation of target mRNAs. They have been surveyed in a single ascidian genus, Ciona. Recently, an annotated draft genome sequence for a distantly related ascidian, Halocynthi...
