Micro RNAs are complementary to 3' UTR sequence motifs that mediate negative post-transcriptional regulation.

TL;DR: A large subset of Drosophila microRNAs is shown to be perfectly complementary to several classes of sequence motif previously demonstrated to mediate negative post-transcriptional regulation, suggesting a more general role for micro RNAs in gene regulation through the formation of RNA duplexes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of Functional Elements and Regulatory Circuits by Drosophila modENCODE

Sushmita Roy, +95 more
- 24 Dec 2010 - 
TL;DR: The Drosophila Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (modENCODE) project as mentioned in this paper has been used to map transcripts, histone modifications, chromosomal proteins, transcription factors, replication proteins and intermediates, and nucleosome properties across a developmental time course and in multiple cell lines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Notch signaling: control of cell communication and cell fate

TL;DR: This primer describes the mechanism of Notch signal transduction and how it is used to control the formation of biological patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Mirtron Pathway Generates microRNA-Class Regulatory RNAs in Drosophila

TL;DR: Drosophila small RNAs that derive from short intronic hairpins termed "mirtrons" are characterized and evidence that they function, at least in part, via the RNA-induced silencing complex effector Ago1 is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Integrative analysis of the Caenorhabditis elegans genome by the modENCODE project

Mark Gerstein, +130 more
- 24 Dec 2010 - 
TL;DR: These studies identified regions of the nematode and fly genomes that show highly occupied targets (or HOT) regions where DNA was bound by more than 15 of the transcription factors analyzed and the expression of related genes were characterized, providing insights into the organization, structure, and function of the two genomes.
