Abstract excerpt
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that mediate post-transcriptional gene silencing through a conserved pathway involving the sequential actions of DROSHA, DICER and Argonaute proteins. These RNA interference core components recognize and process precursor transcripts with structural precision to generate functional miRNA duplexes and guide-loaded Argonaute effector complexes. Recent genetic and...
