MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a family of single-stranded RNA molecules about 22 nt in length, which can regulate protein-coding gene expression in various organisms by post-transcriptional repression of messenger. In this research, the potential miRNAs and their target genes were analyzed and predicted by computational methods from the EST and GSS databases of eleven fish species, 43 potential miRNAs were identified, they belong to 38 miRNA families, some miRNAs are highly conserved in animal kingdom, ...[more]
