Highlights
► MicroRNA expression profiles of four flagellates were investigated using NGS. ► 14 ancient animal miRNA families and 13 plant-specific families were identified. ► Novel miRNA candidates derived from mature tRNAs were revealed in our sequencing data. ► Protist miRNAs may derive from unconventional ncRNAs such as snoRNA and tRNA.
