Although many miRNA genes are conserved across plant species, the same gene family varies significantly in size and genomic organization in different species, which may cause dosage effects and ...

Here we show that the target sequence of two microRNAs, known to regulate genes in the class-III homeodomain-leucine zipper (HD–Zip) gene family of the flowering plant Arabidopsis, is conserved ...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) represent an extensive class of small endogenous RNAs which regulate gene ... miRNA biogenesis at each of these steps, thus proper miRNA homeostasis can be ensured. Although ...

Now, in a breakthrough discovery, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) has found that the same ancient gene family is ...

In a new study, researchers in China present a rather striking finding: that plant miRNAs could make ... small RNAs to animals for in vivo gene silencing and miRNA gain-of-function studies.

They showed that shutting down a damaged copy of a gene called a microRNA (miRNA) enabled the animals to regain hearing. The approach by a research team supported by the National Institutes of ...

Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun discovered microRNA, which the Nobel Assembly describes as "a fundamental principle governing how gene activity is regulated." The tiny microRNA molecules play a ...

In the present work, expression of certain miRNAs and their targets were investigated in three tobacco plants infected with Tobacco rattle virus (TRV) isolate Deb57 collected from Northern Poland in ...

A pair of U.S. scientists involved in the study of gene activity were awarded the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine on Monday for their discovery of microRNA and its role in post ...
