Neuron-type specific miRNA represses two broadly expressed genes to modulate an avoidance behavior in C. elegans
10/03/2016
Novel mechanism to steer cell identities gives clue on how organisms develop A class of genes called microRNAs are known to prevent gene expression. In a recent study, scientists could show that down-regulating genes through microRNAs can determine unique properties of specific cells in an unexpected way. This finding was now reported in the journal Genes & Development. Neuron-type specific miRNA represses two broadly expressed genes to modulate an avoidance behavior in C. elegans
