Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of novel genes coding for small expressed RNAs.

TL;DR: It is shown that many 21- and 22-nt expressed RNAs, termed microRNAs, exist in invertebrates and vertebrates and that some of these novel RNAs are highly conserved, which suggests that sequence-specific, posttranscriptional regulatory mechanisms mediated by smallRNAs are more general than previously appreciated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of tissue-specific microRNAs from mouse

TL;DR: 34 novel miRNAs were identified by tissue-specific cloning of approximately 21-nucleotide RNAs from mouse and a miRNA was identified that appears to be the fruitfly and mammalian ortholog of C. elegans lin-4 stRNA.
Journal ArticleDOI

The small RNA profile during Drosophila melanogaster development

TL;DR: The small RNA profile of Drosophila melanogaster is described as a function of development and 178 repeat-associated small interfering RNAs (rasiRNAs) are isolated, suggesting that small RNAs participate in defining chromatin structure.
