Plant MicroRNAs: Methods and Protocols

MicroRNAs constitute a particularly important class of small RNAs given their abundance, broad phylogenetic conservation and strong regulatory effects, with plant miRNAs uniquely divulging their ancient evolutionary origins and their strong post—transcriptional regulatory effects. In Plant MicroRNAs: Methods and Prools, experts in the field present chapters that focus on the identification, validation, and characterization of the miRNA class of RNAs, and address important aspects about hete...
