Identification of conserved and species-specific microRNAs in tea plant (Camellia sinensis) by deep sequencing. Camellia sinensis

In this study, it is noticeable that 32 tea-specific miRNAs were confirmed on the base of genome survey, using deep sequencing and microarray hybridization, and many miRNAs might associate with secondary metabolites synthesis. Overall design: Leaves, buds and roots were collected
