Identification of miRNAs from Eugenia uniflora by high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics analysis [mRNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: miRNAs are small non-coding regulatory RNAs that play important functions in the regulation of gene expression at the post-transcriptional level by targeting mRNAs for degradation or by inhibiting protein translation. Eugenia uniflora is a plant native to tropical America with pharmacological and ecological importance without previous studies about its gene expression and regulation. To date, there is not miRNAs reported in species of Myrtaceae. A small RNA library was constructed to identify miRNAs in Eugenia uniflora. Solexa technology was used to perform high throughput sequencing of the library and the data obtained was analysed using bioinformatics tools. From 14,489,131 clean reads, we obtained 1,852,722 small RNAs representing 45 known miRNA families that have been identified in oth
