We report for the first time the identification of 25 microRNAs from tissues originating from chicken embryo and adult chicken. Most of the cloned microRNAs are expressed in both adult chickens and chicken embryos. Fourteen were identified without any prior prediction. One microRNA, miR‐757, is thought to be chicken‐specific. Three of the microRNAs appear to be extremely tissue specific.
