A total of 14 abundant classes (relative abundance > 1%) were identified (Table 4).
They comprise up to 5% of animal genes and may be involved in the regulation of one-third of the genes, thus being considered as one of the most abundant classes of small RNA regulators [5].
For detail figures see additional file 3. MicroRNAs play an integral part of animal gene regulatory networks as one of the most abundant classes of gene regulators.
The massive sequencing of eukaryote genomes has lead to an unprecedented discovery of fundamental features of an abundant class of non-coding regulatory elements, the microRNAs (miRNAs).
Ankyrin repeat (AR) proteins are one of the most abundant classes of repeat proteins and are involved in numerous physiological processes.
MiRNAs are one of the most abundant classes of gene-regulatory molecules in the cell [14] and in silico target prediction suggests that miRNAs may be involved in the regulation of up to 30% of the human transcriptome [15].
Nuclear receptors (NRs) are one of the most abundant classes of transcriptional regulators in animals.
BCD07056 is a modified β-cyclodextrin, one of the most abundant classes of cyclodextrin [ 96].
In wine, PR proteins represent one of the most abundant classes of proteins [ 31].
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are one of the most abundant classes of small RNAs (sRNAs) in plants and animals.
