Identification of novel microRNAs in <it>Hevea brasiliensis </it>and computational prediction of their targets

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Plants respond to external stimuli through fine regulation of gene expression partially ensured by small RNAs. Of these, microRNAs (miRNAs) play a crucial role. They negatively regulate gene expression by targeting the cleavage or tr...
