...Shown are the C. elegans stem loops, but close homologs of these miRNAs have been found in flies and mammals (Lagos-Quintana et al., 2001, 2002; Lau et al., 2001; Lee and Ambros, 2001)....

...…RNAs found in worms, flies and mammals—a few expressed temporally, but most not—which were named microRNAs (miRNAs) (Lagos-Quintana et al., 2001; Lau et al., 2001; Lee and Ambros, 2001). miRNAs have since been found in plants, green algae, viruses, and more deeply branching animals…...

...Soon thereafter, lin-4 and let-7 RNAs were reported to represent a very populous class of small endogenous RNAs found in worms, flies and mammals—a few expressed temporally, but most not—which were named microRNAs (miRNAs) (Lagos-Quintana et al., 2001; Lau et al., 2001; Lee and Ambros, 2001)....

...An answer to this question becomes apparent when considering the other let-7 family members in worms, which include let-7, miR-48, miR-84, and miR-241, all of which have the same seed region but differ in their remaining sequence (Lau et al., 2001; Lim et al., 2003)....
