ame-mir-317: Ame-mir-317 is a miRNA that is clustered with ame-mir-34 and ame-mir-277 [PMC2394756]. It is located in the same intron of GB10191, which is a core component of the RNA polymerase II complex [PMC2394756]. Ame-mir-317, along with ame-mir-34 and ame-mir-277, occupies intron 3 of GB10191 [PMC2394756]. In a study, five differentially expressed miRNAs, including ame-miR-12, ame-miR-315, ame-mir-317, ame-miR-31a, and ame-miR34 were selected for RT-qPCR assays to verify the accuracy of RNA sequencing data [PMC4664923]. Ame-mir-34 and ame-mir-317 have been found to be involved in the development of related brain functions in honeybees [PMC6835379]. References: [PMC2394756]: Chen X., et al. (2008).
