Characterization and expression analysis of microRNAs in the tube foot of sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of endogenous non-coding small RNA with average length of 22 nucleotides, participating in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. In this study, we report the identification and characterization of miRNAs in the tube foot of sea cucumber (Apostichopus...
