    Lee P Lim
    Department of Biology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge 02139, USA
    Genes Dev 17:991-1008. 2003
    ..Our census of the worm miRNAs and their expression patterns helps define this class of noncoding RNAs, lays the groundwork for functional studies, and provides the tools for more comprehensive analyses of miRNA genes in other species...
  3. ncbi Most Caenorhabditis elegans microRNAs are individually not essential for development or viability
    Eric A Miska
    Department of Biology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
    PLoS Genet 3:e215. 2007
    ..This study represents the first comprehensive genetic analysis of miRNA function in any organism and provides a unique, permanent resource for the systematic study of miRNAs...

    Anita G Seto
    Department of Molecular Biology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA 02114, USA
    Mol Cell 26:603-9. 2007

  5. ncbi Characterization of the piRNA complex from rat testes
    Nelson C Lau
    Department of Molecular Biology, Massachusetts General Hospital, 185 Cambridge Street, Boston, MA 02114, USA
    Science 313:363-7. 2006
    ..Piwi has been genetically linked to TGS in flies, and slicer activity cofractionates with the purified complex. These results are consistent with a gene-silencing role for piRC in mammals...

    Nature 433:769-73. 2005
    ..Moreover, miR-1 and miR-124, and presumably other tissue-specific miRNAs, seem to downregulate a far greater number of targets than previously appreciated, thereby helping to define tissue-specific gene expression in humans...
