A System for Stable Expression of Short Interfering RNAs in Mammalian Cells
Mammalian genetic approaches to study gene function have been hampered by the lack of tools to generate stable loss-of-function phenotypes efficiently. We report here a new vect...
MicroRNA sponges: Progress and possibilities
The microRNA (miRNA) “sponge” method was introduced three years ago as a means to create continuous miRNA loss of function in cell lines and transgenic organisms. Sponge RNAs co...
Dicer-deficient mouse embryonic stem cells are defective in differentiation and centromeric silencing
Dicer is the enzyme that cleaves double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) into 21–25-nt-long species responsible for sequence-specific RNA-induced gene silencing at the transcriptional, post...
Systematic Identification of mRNAs Recruited to Argonaute 2 by Specific microRNAs and Corresponding Changes in Transcript Abundance
microRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate mRNA stability and translation through the action of the RNAi-induced silencing complex (RISC). Our current understand...
Mammalian microRNAs: experimental evaluation of novel and previously annotated genes
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small regulatory RNAs that derive from distinctive hairpin transcripts. To learn more about the miRNAs of mammals, we sequenced 60 million small RNAs from...
