The paper introduces a method to profile miRNA expression in specific cell types and compartments in the mouse brain using transgenic mice and validates its effectiveness through bioinformatic analysis.

The paper identifies pachytene piRNAs as precise gene regulators during meiosis, showing they target specific mRNAs through near-perfect complementarity.

The paper identifies three phenotypic entities in ant embryos, including 'neuters', and proposes that haplodiploidy enables a third dimension on the sex continuum in Cardiocondyla obscurior.

The paper introduces AGO-APP to isolate active miRNAs from Drosophila neural cells, identifies a miRNA module controlling neuroblast to neuron transition, and shows their cooperative function.

This paper introduces a rapid ribosome profiling protocol for low-input samples, reducing RNA input to 0.1 pmol and enabling high-quality data from small samples.

This study develops a genetic tool to reversibly inhibit miRNA-mediated gene repression in vivo and shows tissue-specific dependencies on miRNA function for homeostasis and regeneration.

The paper shows that low miRNA abundance in mammalian oocytes disables the miRNA pathway, as demonstrated by functional assays and cross-species analysis.

The paper identifies a GAU motif recognized by LIN28's CSD domain, which enhances let-7 microRNA suppression in Class I precursors, contributing to development and cancer.
