- Abstract:
-
There are major gaps in our understanding of the evolution of microRNA (miRNA) genes and how this relates to evolutionary changes in metazoan development. miRNAs function as trans-acting post-transcriptional modulators of gene expression. They are implicated in the canalization of development and the consequent provision of evolvability. Here I present data and analyses on miRNA evolution in insects and mammals, both on a phylogenetic scale as well as at the level of individual mi...
