| Abstract: | Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small regulatory RNAs, some of which are conserved in diverse plant genomes. Therefore, computational
identification and further experimental validation of miRNAs from non-model organisms is both feasible and instrumental for
addressing miRNA-based gene regulation and evolution. Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is an important biofuel crop with publicly available expressed sequence tag and genomic survey sequence databases, but
little is known about miRNAs and their targets in this highly polyploid species. |
