Abstract

We used massively parallel sequencing to compare the microRNA (miRNA) content of human and chimpanzee brains, and we identified 447 new miRNA genes. Many of the new miRNAs are not conserved beyond primates, indicating their recent origin, and some miRNAs seem species specific, whereas others are expanded in one species through duplication events. These data suggest that evolution of miRNAs is an ongoing process and that along with ancient, highly conserved miRNAs, there are a number of emerging miRNAs.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Recent reports suggest that miRNAs can regulate dendritic spine size and neuronal morphogenesis, whereas massive parallel sequencing of small RNA libraries from human and chimpanzee brain has revealed highly complex miRNA repertoires in the primate brain.

    “Recent reports suggest that miRNAs can regulate dendritic spine size (Schratt et al. 2006) and neuronal morphogenesis (Vo et al. 2005), whereas massive parallel sequencing of small RNA libraries from human and chimpanzee brain has revealed highly complex miRNA repertoires in the primate brain (Berezikov et al. 2006).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
