One of the most significant biological discoveries of the last decade is represented by the
reality that the vast majority of the transcribed genomic output comprises diverse classes of …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a distinct class of non-coding, small regulatory RNAs which have
evolved significantly in generating abiotic stress tolerance across a variety of model plants …

Fungal plant pathogens secrete effector proteins and metabolites to cause disease.
Additionally, some species transfer small RNAs (sRNAs) into plant cells to silence host …

Small RNAs (sRNAs) regulate genes in plants and animals. Here, we show that population-
wide differences in color patterns in snapdragon flowers are caused by an inverted …

Motivation RNA interference, a highly conserved regulatory mechanism, is mediated via
small RNAs (sRNA). Recent technical advances enabled the analysis of larger, complex …

Motivation MicroRNAs are a class of∼ 21–22 nt small RNAs which are excised from a stable
hairpin-like secondary structure. They have important gene regulatory functions and are …

Small non-coding RNA (sRNA) in various organisms remains a mysterious subject. Although
microRNAs (miRNAs) have been intensively investigated in plants and animals, the study of …

High-throughput sequencing enables an unprecedented resolution in transcript
quantification, at the cost of magnifying the impact of technical noise. The consistent …

In eusocial Hymenoptera (ants, bees and wasps), queen and worker adult castes typically
arise via environmental influences. A fundamental challenge is to understand how a single …

microRNAs (miRs) are a class of 21–24 nucleotide long non-coding RNAs responsible for
regulating the expression of associated genes mainly by cleavage or translational inhibition …
