Sorting the wheat from the chaff: identifying miRNAs in genomic survey sequences of Triticum aestivum chromosome 1AL.

Individual chromosome-based studies of bread wheat are beginning to provide valuable structural and functional information about one of the world's most important crops. As new genome sequences become available, identifying miRNA coding sequences is arguably as important a task as annotating pr...
