A MicroRNA Feedback Circuit in Midbrain Dopamine Neurons

TL;DR: AmiR-133b regulates the maturation and function of midbrain DNs within a negative feedback circuit that includes the paired-like homeodomain transcription factor Pitx3, and a role for this feedback circuit in the fine-tuning of dopaminergic behaviors such as locomotion is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pseudogene-derived small interfering RNAs regulate gene expression in mouse oocytes

TL;DR: These findings indicate a function for pseudogenes in regulating gene expression by means of the RNA interference pathway and may, in part, explain the evolutionary pressure to conserve argonaute-mediated catalysis in mammals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of Dicer-deficient murine embryonic stem cells

TL;DR: In this paper, a conditional model of RNAi deficiency in mammals was presented, where the absence of Dicer does not affect the ability of small interfering RNAs to repress gene expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome analysis of the platypus reveals unique signatures of evolution

Wesley C. Warren, +104 more
- 08 May 2008 - 
TL;DR: It is found that reptile and platypus venom proteins have been co-opted independently from the same gene families; milk protein genes are conserved despite platypuses laying eggs; and immune gene family expansions are directly related to platypUS biology.
