MicroRNA expression profiling of the fifth-instar posterior silk gland of Bombyx mori.

abstract：BACKGROUND:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) exist pervasively across viruses, plants and animals and play important roles in the post-transcriptional regulation of genes. In the common carp, miRNA targets have not been investigated. In model species, single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been reported to impair or enhance miRN...
