Journal ArticleDOI

MicroRNA evolution by arm switching

TL;DR: It is shown that the predicted messenger RNA targets and inferred function of sequences from opposite arms differ significantly, and is likely to be general, and provides a fundamental mechanism to evolve the function of a miRNA locus and target gene network.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional shifts in insect microRNA evolution

TL;DR: It is concluded, from a single study, that the Tribolium miRNA set is at least 15% larger than that in the model insect Drosophila melanogaster (despite tens of high-throughput sequencing experiments in the latter).
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolutionary and Structural Analyses of GDAP1, Involved in Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease, Characterize a Novel Class of Glutathione Transferase-Related Genes

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that GDAP1 andGDAP1L1 do not belong to any of the known classes of GST genes, and are instead characterized by an extended region in GST domain II, absent in most other GSTs, and by a C-terminal end predicted to contain transmembrane domains.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clusters of microRNAs emerge by new hairpins in existing transcripts

TL;DR: It is observed that the majority of microRNA clusters arose by the de novo formation of new microRNA-like hairpins in existing microRNA transcripts, and the analysis suggests that the study of microRNAs and small RNAs must consider linkage associations.
