Abstract excerpt
The Caenorhabditis elegans microRNAs (miRNAs) lin-4 and let-7 promote transitions between stage-specific events in development by down-regulating the translation of their target genes. Expression of let-7 is required at the fourth larval stage for the proper transition from larval to differentiated, adult fates in the hypodermis; however, it was not known whether expression of let-7 is sufficient to specify these...
