• Evolutionary footprints reveal insights into plant MicroRNA biogenesis 

      Chorostecki, Uciel; Moro, Belen; Rojas, Arantxa M.L.; Debernardi, Juan M.; Schapire, Arnaldo L.; Notredame, Cedric; Palatnik, Javier F. (The Plant Cell, 2017)
      MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small RNAs that recognize target sequences by base complementarity and play a role in the regulation of target gene expression. They are processed from longer precursor ...
    • Multiple RNA recognition patterns during microRNA biogenesis in plants 

      Bologna, Nicolás G.; Schapire, Arnaldo L.; Zhai, Jixian; Chorostecki, Uciel; Boisbouvier, Jerome; Meyers, Blake C.; Palatnik, Javier F. (Genome Research, 2013)
      MicroRNAs (miRNAs) derive from longer precursors with fold-back structures. While animal miRNA precursors have homogenous structures, plant precursors comprise a collection of fold-backs with variable ...
