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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...
