TL;DR: It is revealed that Trpm3 and the intronic microRNA gene miR-204 are co-regulated by Pax6 during eye development, which is a novel evolutionarily conserved mechanism by which Pax6 controls the down-regulation of multiple genes through direct up- regulation of miR -204.

TL;DR: Novel variants present in infected individuals, as well as a new 3’UTR structure, are identified, suggesting that CHIKV has rapidly evolved in a short period of time once it entered this naïve population, highlighting the need to continue viral diversity surveillance over time as this epidemic evolves.

TL;DR: Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA) is the most common form of scarring in women of African ancestry as mentioned in this paper, and the disease is occasionally observed to affect women with African ancestry.

TL;DR: Shomron et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed miRNAkey, a software package designed to be used as a base-station for the analysis of miRNA deep sequencing data, which implements common steps taken in the analysis, as well as adds unique features, such as data statistics and multiple read determination, generating a novel platform for analyzing miRNA expression.

TL;DR: Several key features are pinpointed that assist successful experimental design and appropriate tool selection in the presence of varying parameters such as read depth (coverage), read length, indel size and frequency.
