Journal ArticleDOI

Fast-evolving microRNAs are highly expressed in the early embryo of Drosophila virilis

TL;DR: The analyses suggest that the early embryo is a more permissive environment for microRNA changes and innovations, and fast-evolving microRNAs have the opportunity to become preferentially integrated in early developmental processes, and may impact the evolution of development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Natural antisense transcripts and long non-coding RNA in Neurospora crassa

TL;DR: RNA sequencing data from the ABI SOLiD platform is used to identify lncRNA and NATs obtained from samples of the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa grown under different light and temperature conditions and identify 11 lncRNAs that are up-regulated in response to light.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pervasive microRNA Duplication in Chelicerates: Insights from the Embryonic microRNA Repertoire of the Spider Parasteatoda tepidariorum.

TL;DR: This work characterized the microRNA repertoire expressed during embryogenesis of the common house spider Parasteatoda tepidariorum and shows that understanding the evolution of microRNAs in the chelicerates has great potential to provide insights into the process of microRNA duplication and divergence and the Evolution of animal development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial pseudogenes in the nuclear genomes of Drosophila.

TL;DR: The vast majority of numts in the nucleus are found to be recent gains, 90% having arisen on terminal branches of the species tree, and it is estimated that 23% of extant numts arose through post-insertion duplications.
