Genome-wide identification of the Phaseolus vulgaris sRNAome using small RNA and degradome sequencing [degradome-seq]

ABSTRACT: Background: MiRNAs and phasiRNAs are negative regulators of gene expression. These small RNAs have been extensively studied in plant model species but only 10 mature microRNAs are present in miRBase version 21 and no phasiRNAs have been identified for the legume model Phaseolus vulgaris. Thanks to the recent availability of the first version of the common bean genome, degradome data and small RNA libraries, we are able to present here a catalog of the microRNAs and phasiRNAs of this organism and, particularly, new protagonists of the symbiotic nodulation events. Results: We identified a set of 185 mature miRNAs, including 121 previously unpublished sequences, encoded by 307 precursors and distributed in 98 families. Degradome data allowed us to identify a total of 181 targets for these miR
