Selection and mutation on microRNA target sequences during rice evolution
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>MicroRNAs (miRNAs) posttranscriptionally down-regulate gene expression by binding target mRNAs. Analysis of the evolution of miRNA binding sites is helpful in understanding the co-evolution between miRNAs and their targets. To unders...
