Abstract excerpt
Dicer has a key role in small RNA biogenesis, processing double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs)1,2. Human DICER (hDICER, also known as DICER1) is specialized for cleaving small hairpin structures such as precursor microRNAs (pre-miRNAs) and has limited activity towards long dsRNAs-unlike its homologues in lower eukaryotes and plants, which cleave long dsRNAs. Although the mechanism by which long dsRNAs are cleaved has...
