Behavioural phenotypes of Dicer knockout in the mouse SCN.

Abstract excerpt

The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is the master clock that directly dictates behavioural rhythms to anticipate the earth's light/dark cycles. Although post-transcriptional regulators called microRNAs have been implicated in physiological SCN function, how the absence of the entire mature miRNome impacts SCN output has not yet been explored. To study the behavioural consequences of miRNA depletion in the SCN, we...
