Segmental duplications: A possible mechanism of hominid uplift through microRNA diversification

Segmental duplications: A possible mechanism of hominid uplift through microRNA diversification

MicroRNAs (miRNA) are ~21 nucleotide-long gene silencers. Segmental duplications (SD) are among the driving forces in acquiring new genes. Both miRNA and SD are believed to have played a significant role in evolution, particularly in the divergence of humans (Homo sapiens) from the chimpanzee (Pan t...
