microRNA-155 Regulates the Generation of Immunoglobulin Class-Switched Plasma Cells

TLDR
The intrinsic requirement for miR-155 is shown in B cell responses to thymus-dependent and -independent antigens and implicate post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression for establishing the terminal differentiation program of B cells.

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.

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.

Principles of MicroRNA–Target Recognition

TL;DR: The minimal requirements for functional miRNA–target duplexes in vivo are evaluated and classes of target sites with different functional properties are distinguished, indicating that miRNAs regulate a large fraction of protein-coding genes and that miRNA 3′ ends are key determinants of target specificity within miRNA families.
