Splicing of Messenger RNA Precursors
Science, 1987 A general mechanism for the splicing of nuclear messenger RNA precursors in eukaryotic cells has been widely accepted. This mechanism, which generates lariat RNAs possessing a branch site, seems related to the RNA-catalyzed reactions of self-splicing introns.

Non-Coding RNA Analyses of Seasonal Cambium Activity in Populus tomentosa
Cells, 2022 Non-coding RNA, known as long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA) and microRNA (miRNA), are taking part in the multiple developmental processes in plants.

MicroRNA-122 dependent binding of Ago2 protein to hepatitis C virus RNA is associated with enhanced RNA stability and translation stimulation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Translation of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) RNA is directed by an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) in the 5'-untranslated region (5'-UTR). HCV translation is stimulated by the liver-specific microRNA-122 (miR-122) that binds to two binding sites between ...

Ribosomal Precursor RNA in Saccharomyces carlsbergensis [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1967 Several lines of evidence for the occurrence of ribosomal precursor RNA in yeast are presented. This ribosomal precursor RNA has been found in the nuclear fraction, it is rapidly labeled with radioactive nucleotides and sediments faster than the two ribosomal RNAs.

Single-cell RNA sequencing identifies distinct mouse medial ganglionic eminence cell types. [PDF]
, 2017 Many subtypes of cortical interneurons (CINs) are found in adult mouse cortices, but the mechanism generating their diversity remains elusive. We performed single-cell RNA sequencing on the mouse embryonic medial ganglionic eminence (MGE), the major ...

From Formamide to RNA, the Path Is Tenuous but Continuous
Life, 2015 Reactions of formamide (NH2COH) in the presence of catalysts of both terrestrial and meteoritic origin yield, in plausible and variegated conditions, a large panel of precursors of (pre)genetic and (pre)metabolic interest. Formamide chemistry potentially

The Drosophila ZAD zinc finger protein Kipferl guides Rhino to piRNA clusters
eLife, 2022 RNA interference systems depend on the synthesis of small RNA precursors whose sequences define the target spectrum of these silencing pathways. The Drosophila Heterochromatin Protein 1 (HP1) variant Rhino permits transcription of PIWI-interacting RNA ...

Role of RNA Interference (RNAi) in the Moss Physcomitrella patens [PDF]
, 2013 RNA interference (RNAi) is a mechanism that regulates genes by either transcriptional (TGS) or posttranscriptional gene silencing (PTGS), required for genome maintenance and proper development of an organism.

Identification of precursor transcripts for 6 novel miRNAs expands the diversity on the genomic organisation and expression of miRNA genes in rice [PDF]
, 2008 The plant miRNAs represent an important class of endogenous small RNAs that guide cleavage of an mRNA target or repress its translation to control development and adaptation to stresses.
