Human and primate-specific microRNAs in cancer: Evolution, and significance in comparison with more distantly-related research models: The great potential of evolutionary young microRNA in cancer research.

Abstract The largest proportion of microRNAs in humans (ca. 40-50%) originated in the phylogenetic grouping defined as primates. The dynamic evolution of this family of non-coding RNA is further demonstrated…
