Abstract excerpt
While most conserved microRNA (miRNA) transcripts harbor a suite of features that mediate their efficient biogenesis into small RNAs, some loci bear suboptimal attributes that enable additional layers of processing regulation. A notable example is cluster assistance, whereby a miRNA hairpin with suboptimal nuclear biogenesis can be enhanced by an optimal neighbor. This process involves local transfer of the...
