Project description:Small RNA libraries of wildtype Arabidopsis thaliana and its mutant Dicer-like 1 (Dcl1) were constructed and sequenced for miRNA identification and expression analysis. The mutant data was used to validate novel miRNA predictions (from miRCat2 (Paicu et al. 2017), miRCat (Moxon et al. 2008), miRPlant (An et al. 2014) and miReap (http://mireap.sourceforge.net/)), by calculating the log fold change between the mutant and the wildtype samples.
