The let-7 miRNA was one of the first miRNAs discovered in the nematode, Caenorhabditis
elegans, and its biological functions show a high level of evolutionary conservation from the …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNAs that regulate the expression of complementary
messenger RNAs. Hundreds of miRNA genes have been found in diverse animals, and …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous∼ 22 nt RNAs that can play important regulatory
roles in animals and plants by targeting mRNAs for cleavage or translational repression …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an abundant class of small non-protein-coding RNAs that function
as negative gene regulators. They regulate diverse biological processes, and bioinformatic …

MicroRNAs are a family of small, non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression in a
sequence-specific manner. The two founding members of the microRNA family were …

Chitin is a major component of the exoskeleton and the peritrophic matrix of insects. It forms
complex structures in association with different assortments of cuticle and peritrophic matrix …

The recent discoveries of microRNAs (miRNAs) and characterization of the first few targets
of their gene products in Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster have set the …

MicroRNAs are short, noncoding RNA transcripts that post-transcriptionally regulate gene
expression. Several hundred microRNA genes have been identified in Caenorhabditis …

The recent discovery of microRNAs (miRNAs) took many by surprise because of their
unorthodox features and widespread functions. These tiny,∼ 22-nucleotide, RNAs control …

The first two known microRNAs (miRNAs), lin-4 and let-7, were originally discovered in the
nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and control the timing of stem-cell division and …
