Evidence for the biogenesis of more than 1,000 novel human microRNAs

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that the complement of human miRNA genes is substantially larger than anticipated, and that more are likely to be discovered in the future as more tissues and experimental conditions are sequenced to greater depth.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Pathogenic Mechanism in Huntington's Disease Involves Small CAG-Repeated RNAs with Neurotoxic Activity

TL;DR: Evidence is provided to support that the mutant HTT CAG repeats interfere with cell viability at the RNA level, and a possible link between HD and sCAG expression with an aberrant activation of the siRNA/miRNA gene silencing machinery, which may trigger a detrimental response is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic variants and abnormal processing of pre-miR-182, a circadian clock modulator, in major depression patients with late insomnia

TL;DR: Data indicate that abnormal processing of pre-miR-182 in patients carrying the T allele of the rs76481776 polymorphism may contribute to the dysregulation of circadian rhythms in MD patients with insomnia, which could influence expression levels of the mature form of miR- 182 and might increase downregulation in some of its target genes.
