摘要: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an important class of regulatory small RNAs that program gene expression, mainly at the post-transcriptional level. Although sporadic examples of species-specific miRNAs (termed SS-miRNAs) have been reported, a genome-scale study across a variety of distant species has not been assessed. Here, by comprehensively analyzing miRNAs in 81 plant species phylogenetically ranging from chlorophytes to angiosperms, we identified 8048 species-specific miRNAs from 5499 families, representing over 61.2% of the miRNA families in the examined species. An analysis of the conservation from different taxonomic levels supported the high turnover rate of SS-miRNAs, even over short evolutionary distances. A comparison of the intrinsic features between SS-miRNAs and NSS-miRNAs (non-species-specific miRNAs) indicated that the AU content of mature miRNAs was the most striking difference. Our data further illustrated a significant bias of the genomic coordinates towards SS-miRNAs lying close to or within genes. By analyzing the 125,267 putative target genes for the 7966 miRNAs, we found the preferentially regulated functions of SS-miRNAs related to diverse metabolic processes. Collectively, these findings underscore the dynamic evolution of miRNAs in the species-specific lineages.
