This study investigates how Cuscuta campestris miRNAs are processed, transported, and loaded into host Argonautes, finding they avoid self AGO-loading to facilitate host targeting.

miRScore validates miRNA annotations using sRNA-seq data by combining structural and expression analyses to improve accuracy and reliability.

This study uses small RNA sequencing to investigate how INSV affects TSWV processing and plant responses during their antagonistic interaction.
