Abstract excerpt
MicroRNAs (miRNAs), small noncoding RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression, are one of the most abundant classes of gene regulators. Yet, little is known about the roles that specific miRNAs play in the development of multicellular organisms. Drosophila provides an excellent model system to explore the in vivo activities of particular miRNAs within the context of well-defined gene-expression...
