title: Towards a complete description of the microRNA complement of animal genomes.
abstract: Recent cloning and computational studies have sought to catalog all the microRNA genes encoded in animal genomes. Here, we highlight recent advances in identifying Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster microRNAs.
