The world of small noncoding RNAs (sncRNAs) is ever-expanding, from small interfering
RNA, microRNA and Piwi-interacting RNA to the recently emerging non-canonical sncRNAs …

As one of the most abundant and conserved RNA species, transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are well
known for their role in reading the codons on messenger RNAs and translating them into …

Although high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) has greatly advanced small non-
coding RNA (sncRNA) discovery, the currently widely used complementary DNA library …

A growing class of small RNAs, known as tRNA-derived RNAs (tdRs), tRNA-derived small
RNAs or tRNA-derived fragments, have long been considered mere intermediates of tRNA …

Mammalian sperm RNA is increasingly recognized as an additional source of paternal
hereditary information beyond DNA. Environmental inputs, including an unhealthy diet …

Transfer RNA (tRNA)-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs), a novel category of small noncoding
RNAs, are enzymatically cleaved from tRNAs. Previous reports have shed some light on the …

Paternal environmental inputs can influence various phenotypes in offspring, presenting
tremendous implications for basic biology and public health and policy. However, which …

Summary tRNA function is based on unique structures that enable mRNA decoding using
anticodon trinucleotides. These structures interact with specific aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases …

More than a century ago, August Weissman defined a distinction between the germline
(responsible for propagating heritable information from generation to generation) and the …

The global rise in obesity and steady decline in sperm quality are two alarming trends that
have emerged during recent decades. In parallel, evidence from model organisms shows …
