  • A Functional Analysis of microRNAs in Nicotiana tabacum 

    Burklew, Caitlin E. (East Carolina University, 2012)
    MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a newly discovered class of endogenous post-transcriptional gene regulators that are typically 20-22 nucleotides in length that do not code for proteins. MiRNAs regulate gene expression by either ...
