MicroRNAs (miRNAs), which are 18 ~ 24 nucleotides length, play important roles in regulating the expression of gene at the post-transcription level. Dugesia japonica is a branch of planarian organism. It is a model organism for studying the role of miRNAs in stem cell function. Next generation sequencing technology was used to identify the miRNAs of D. japonica. Bioinformatic analysis showed that 262 miRNA and miRNA* sequences were discovered, of which 102 miRNAs were the same as Schmidtea medit ...[more]
