Comprehensive analysis of genetic and evolutionary features of the hepatitis E virus.

abstract：BACKGROUND:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression by targeting specific mRNA species for degradation or interfering with translation. Specific miRNAs are key regulators of adipogenesis, and are expressed at different levels in adipose tissue from lean and obese mice. The deg...
