Haplotype distribution and evolutionary pattern of miR-17 and miR-124 families based on population analysis.

<h4>Background</h4>MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, endogenously expressed non-coding RNAs that regulate mRNAs post-transcriptionally. Previous studies have explored miRNA evolutionary trend, but evolutionary history and pattern in the miRNA world are still not fully clear. In the paper, we...
