Research Abstract |
In recent years, it has been clarified that small RNAs, like miRNAs, play important roles in a wide range of cellular activities. In this study, taking the advantage of our collaborative experience in the analysis of transcriptional regulation in Ciona intestinalis, a model organism of vertebrates, we predicted a comprehensive set of miRNAs encoded in the Ciona genome. Then, a list of novel candidate genes were obtained with a reliability measure. For some genes showing interesting expression pattern, their evolutionary divergence/conservation was clarified through more detailed characterization.
