Comments
The expression of C. elegans miR-72 was confirmed by PCR amplification, cloning and sequencing. The predicted hairpin precursor sequence presented here is supported by conservation in C. elegans and C. briggsae (MIR:MI0000751), and differs from that shown in [1] (Uwe Ohler, pers. comm.). The extents of the dominant mature miRNA species are adjusted here in accordance with a large scale cloning and sequencing study [5].
