Ever since microRNAs (miRNAs) were first recognized as an extensive gene family> 20
years ago, a broad community of researchers was drawn to investigate the universe of small …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous∼ 23 nt RNAs that play important gene-regulatory
roles in animals and plants by pairing to the mRNAs of protein-coding genes to direct their …

The recent discoveries of microRNAs (miRNAs) and characterization of the first few targets
of their gene products in Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster have set the …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are integral elements in the post-transcriptional control of gene
expression. After the identification of hundreds of miRNAs, the challenge is now to …

Micro RNAs are a large family of noncoding RNAs of 21–22 nucleotides whose functions are
generally unknown. Here a large subset of Drosophila micro RNAs is shown to be perfectly …

Abstract The RNase III enzyme Dicer processes RNA into siRNAs and miRNAs, which direct
a RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) to cleave mRNA or block its translation (RNAi) …

Five years into thesmall RNA revolution'it is hard not to share in the excitement about the
rapidly unravelling biology of microRNAs. Since the discovery of the first microRNA gene, lin …

Since the establishment of a canonical animal microRNA biogenesis pathway driven by the
RNase III enzymes Drosha and Dicer, an unexpected variety of alternative mechanisms that …
