Two MicroRNAs Are Sufficient for Embryonic Patterning in C. elegans
30 Oct 2020
Abstract excerpt
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of post-transcriptional repressors with diverse roles in animal development and physiology [1]. The Microprocessor complex, composed of Drosha and Pasha/DGCR8, is necessary for the biogenesis of all canonical miRNAs and essential for the early stages of animal embryogenesis [2-8]. However, the cause for this requirement is largely unknown. Animals often express hundreds of miRNAs,...
