Analysis of somatic piRNAs in the malaria mosquito Anopheles coluzzii reveals atypical classes of genic small RNAs by Sergei Funikov, Alexander Rezvykh, Natalia Akulenko, Jiangtao Liang, Igor V. Sharakhov, Alla Kalmykova

“…Most of the atypical small RNAs exhibit female-biased expression and originate from mitochondrial and nuclear genes involved in energy metabolism. We also identified atypical genic small RNAs in Anopheles gambiae somatic tissues, which further validates the noncanonical mechanism of their production. …”
