Re-inspection of small RNA sequence datasets reveals several novel human miRNA genes.

<h4>Background</h4>miRNAs are key players in gene expression regulation. To fully understand the complex nature of cellular differentiation or initiation and progression of disease, it is important to assess the expression patterns of as many miRNAs as possible. Thereby, identifying nove...
