Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are emerging as essential, albeit poorly characterized, regulators of biological processes. The miRNA in gymnosperms is under-identified, which limits the progress of miRNA in gymnoperms. Using the high-throughput sequencing, a total of 87 conserved miRNAs were identified from Larix leptolepis. Eighteen novel miRNAs were discovered in our library, most of which were Larix-specific miRNAs.
