1、 家蚕不同发育时期的miRNA表达情况
Guru Jagadeeswaran等人对家蚕4个不同发育时期的miRNA表达情况进行了研究。共测序2.5M个长度在18-30的序列片断,序列分析鉴定了14个新的miRNA和101个保守的miRNA。95%的保守miRNA在不同发育时期的表达情况不同。

2、 果蝇miRNA深度注释
Berezikov等人对76个果蝇的small RNA Illumina数据和111个其他发表的small RNA数据进行了果蝇miRNA深度注释,总数据量超过了十亿个reads。研究者对miRNA的特征进行了总结,鉴定出49个新的基因组miRNA位置,61个可能的miRNA位点。该工作为miRNA多样性和进化研究提供很好的借鉴。
