tailieunhanh - In silico identification and characterization of conserved miRNAs and their targets in pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan L.) expressed sequence tags

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are highly conserved class of short endogenous non-coding small RNA molecules of about 18–22 nucleotide in length. MicroRNAs negatively regulate the gene expression by degrading target mRNA. In the present study, comparative genomic based approach was used to identify and characterize new conserved microRNAs in “orphan legume crop” pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan L.) using expressed sequence tags (ESTs) by in silico method. A total of 4,621 unique previously reported microRNAs were used for homology search in 25,576 ESTs of pigeon pea for identifying conserved miRNAs. | In silico identification and characterization of conserved miRNAs and their targets in pigeon pea Cajanus cajan L. expressed sequence tags
