Journal ArticleDOI

Global identification of microRNA-target RNA pairs by parallel analysis of RNA ends.

TL;DR: Working in reverse from the cleaved targets resulted in the identification and validation of novel miRNAs, which will affect the study of other aspects of RNA processing beyond miRNA–target RNA pairs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Elucidation of the small RNA component of the transcriptome.

TL;DR: Many genomic regions previously considered featureless were found to be sites of numerous small RNAs, and known and new microRNAs were among the most abundant of the nonredundant set of more than 75,000 sequences.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dissecting Arabidopsis thaliana DICER function in small RNA processing, gene silencing and DNA methylation patterning

TL;DR: Sequencing of small RNAs from a dcl2 dcl3 dcl4 triple mutant showed markedly reduced tasiRNA and siRNA production and indicated that DCL1, in addition to its role as the major enzyme for processing miRNAs, has a previously unknown role in the production of smallRNAs from endogenous inverted repeats.
Journal ArticleDOI

Filtering of deep sequencing data reveals the existence of abundant Dicer-dependent small RNAs derived from tRNAs

TL;DR: It is shown that the processing of small RNAs derived from tRNA(Gln) is dependent on Dicer in vivo and that Dicer cleaves the tRNA in vitro.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nitrate-responsive miR393/AFB3 regulatory module controls root system architecture in Arabidopsis thaliana.

TL;DR: Interestingly, regulation of RSA by nitrate was specifically mediated by AFB3, indicating that miR393/AFB3 is a unique N-responsive module that controls root system architecture in response to external and internal N availability in Arabidopsis.
