Comments

This miRNA was predicted by computational analysis of C. elegans and C. briggsae, and expression of the mature microRNA confirmed by PCR amplification, cloning and sequencing [1]. The extents of the dominant mature miRNA species are adjusted here in accordance with a large scale cloning and sequencing study [2].
