Conserved seed pairing, often flanked by adenosines, indicates that thousands of human genes are microRNA targets

TLDR
In a four-genome analysis of 3' UTRs, approximately 13,000 regulatory relationships were detected above the estimate of false-positive predictions, thereby implicating as miRNA targets more than 5300 human genes, which represented 30% of the gene set.

MicroRNAs: Target Recognition and Regulatory Functions

TL;DR: The current understanding of miRNA target recognition in animals is outlined and the widespread impact of miRNAs on both the expression and evolution of protein-coding genes is discussed.

A programmable dual-RNA-guided DNA endonuclease in adaptive bacterial immunity.

TL;DR: This study reveals a family of endonucleases that use dual-RNAs for site-specific DNA cleavage and highlights the potential to exploit the system for RNA-programmable genome editing.

Most mammalian mRNAs are conserved targets of microRNAs

TL;DR: This work overhauled its tool for finding preferential conservation of sequence motifs and applied it to the analysis of human 3'UTRs, increasing by nearly threefold the detected number of preferentially conserved miRNA target sites.

Biological insights from 108 schizophrenia-associated genetic loci

Stephan Ripke, +354 more

TL;DR: Associations at DRD2 and several genes involved in glutamatergic neurotransmission highlight molecules of known and potential therapeutic relevance to schizophrenia, and are consistent with leading pathophysiological hypotheses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Circular RNAs are a large class of animal RNAs with regulatory potency

TL;DR: It is found that a human circRNA, antisense to the cerebellar degeneration-related protein 1 transcript (CDR1as), is densely bound by microRNA (miRNA) effector complexes and harbours 63 conserved binding sites for the ancient miRNA miR-7.

MicroRNAs: Genomics, Biogenesis, Mechanism, and Function

TL;DR: Although they escaped notice until relatively recently, miRNAs comprise one of the more abundant classes of gene regulatory molecules in multicellular organisms and likely influence the output of many protein-coding genes.

Prediction of Mammalian MicroRNA Targets

TL;DR: The predicted regulatory targets of mammalian miRNAs were enriched for genes involved in transcriptional regulation but also encompassed an unexpectedly broad range of other functions.

The 21-nucleotide let-7 RNA regulates developmental timing in Caenorhabditis elegans

TL;DR: It is shown that let-7 is a heterochronic switch gene that encodes a temporally regulated 21-nucleotide RNA that is complementary to elements in the 3′ untranslated regions of the heteroch chronic genes lin-14, lin-28, Lin-41, lin -42 and daf-12, indicating that expression of these genes may be directly controlled by let- 7.
