Genome-wide analysis reveals diversity of rice intronic miRNAs in sequence structure, biogenesis and function.

Intronic microRNAs (in-miRNAs) as a class of miRNA family that regulates gene expression are still poorly understood in plants. In this study, we systematically identified rice in-miRNAs by re-mining eight published small RNA-sequencing datasets of rice. Furthermore, based on the collected expressio...
