<h4>Background</h4>Human erythrocytes are terminally differentiated, anucleate cells long thought to lack RNAs. However, previous studies have shown the persistence of many small-sized RNAs in erythrocytes. To comprehensively define the erythrocyte transcriptome, we used high-throughput sequencing to identify both short (18-24 nt) and long (>200 nt) RNAs in mature erythrocytes.<h4>Results</h4>Analysis of the short RNA transcriptome with miRDeep identified 287 known and 72 putative novel microRNA ...[more]
