Abstract: | MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a kind of endogenous non-coding small RNAs whose specific functions in animals are generally important.
Although functions of some miRNAs have been identified, the role of miR-184 remains unknown. Here, we determined the temporal
and spatial expression pattern of miR-184 during the different development stages and tissues in Drosophila. Strikingly, miR-184 is expressed ubiquitously in Drosophila embryos, larvae and adults, its expression pattern shows a dynamic changes during the development of embryo, especially in
the central nervous system. This expression profile suggests that miR-184 may act important function in Drosophila development. |
