A developmental timer coordinates organism-wide microRNA transcription

2026-01-23

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The development of distinct tissues must be precisely coordinated to ensure that growth and cell fate transitions occur in the correct temporal order across the organism, yet the mechanisms that coordinate these timing events remain unclear. In Caenorhabditis elegans , stage-specific cell fate transitions are driven by pulsatile transcription of heterochronic microRNAs, but the source of these...
