miRNA in elongating cotton fibres between two near-isogenic lines that differ in fibre length
The Upland cotton (G. hirsutum) SureGrow (SG747) and G. barbadense (Giza75) were chosen as the female parent and the male parent, respectively. The F1 was backcrossed with “SG747” 2 times, followed by selfing four times, resulting in the development of 146 backcrossed inbred lines, BILs, also called near-isogenic lines, NILs. “Long” and “Short” were chosen from these NILs with remarkably different lengths in fibre. 10 DPA fibers from "Long" and "Short" were used to construct the libraries. SRR1630807 is the reads from "Long" and  SRR1630807 from "Short"
