Presented are the candidate Dgcr8-independent miRNAs alongside those identified as Dgcr8-independent by Babiarz et al. [25]. Included is the fold change of each miRNA seen in this study between heterozygous and Dgcr8-depleted cell lines (bold italics if they meet our fold change threshold) and the status of each miRNA in miRBase version 18.
