Identification of the master sex determining gene in Northern pike (Esox lucius) reveals restricted sex chromosome differentiation.

abstract：:The origin and evolution of new microRNAs (miRNAs) is important because they can impact the transcriptome broadly. As miRNAs can potentially emerge constantly and rapidly, their rates of birth and evolution have been extensively debated. However, most new miRNAs identified appear not to be biologically significant. Af...
