In addition to this, the fish played a major role in local legends, similar to the role of bears in land-based legends. The Church of Norway has one parish "(sokn)" within
IsomiR isomiRs have been detected deregulated in D. melanogaster development and differential expressed during "Hippoglossus hippoglossus" L. early development, suggesting a biologically relevant function. IsomiR isomiR is a term coined by Morin et al. to refer to those sequences that have variations with respect to the reference miRNA sequence. miRBase is considered to be the gold-standard miRNA database—it stores miRNA sequences detected by thousand of experiments. In this database each miRNA is associated with a miRNA precursor and with one or two mature miRNA (-5p and -3p). Similarly, VIRmiRNA is the only available resource for miRNA in the field of virus.
