Journal ArticleDOI
Principles of MicroRNA–Target Recognition
TL;DR: The minimal requirements for functional miRNA–target duplexes in vivo are evaluated and classes of target sites with different functional properties are distinguished, indicating that miRNAs regulate a large fraction of protein-coding genes and that miRNA 3′ ends are key determinants of target specificity within miRNA families.
Journal ArticleDOI
Histone modifications at human enhancers reflect global cell-type-specific gene expression
Nathaniel D. Heintzman,Gary C. Hon,R. David Hawkins,Pouya Kheradpour,Alexander Stark,Alexander Stark,Lindsey F. Harp,Zhen Ye,Leonard K. Lee,Rhona K. Stuart,Christina W. Ching,Keith A. Ching,Jessica Antosiewicz-Bourget,Hui Liu,Xinmin Zhang,Roland D. Green,Victor V. Lobanenkov,Ron Stewart,James A. Thomson,James A. Thomson,Gregory E. Crawford,Manolis Kellis,Manolis Kellis,Bing Ren +23 more
TL;DR: The results define over 55,000 potential transcriptional enhancers in the human genome, significantly expanding the current catalogue of human enhancers and highlighting the role of these elements in cell-type-specific gene expression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Discrete Small RNA-Generating Loci as Master Regulators of Transposon Activity in Drosophila
Julius Brennecke,Alexei A. Aravin,Alexander Stark,Monica Dus,Manolis Kellis,Ravi Sachidanandam,Gregory J. Hannon +6 more
TL;DR: Examination of piwi-interacting RNAs associated with each Drosophila Piwi protein finds that Piwi and Aubergine bind RNAs that are predominantly antisense to transposons, whereas Ago3 complexes contain predominantly sense piRNAs.
Journal ArticleDOI
bantam Encodes a Developmentally Regulated microRNA that Controls Cell Proliferation and Regulates the Proapoptotic Gene hid in Drosophila
TL;DR: It is reported that the bantam gene of Drosophila encodes a 21 nucleotide microRNA that promotes tissue growth and identifies the pro-apoptotic gene hid as a target for regulation by bantam miRNA, providing an explanation for bantam's anti-APoptotic activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of genes and genomes on the Drosophila phylogeny.

TL;DR: These genome sequences augment the formidable genetic tools that have made Drosophila melanogaster a pre-eminent model for animal genetics, and will further catalyse fundamental research on mechanisms of development, cell biology, genetics, disease, neurobiology, behaviour, physiology and evolution.
