"(CIT): MicroRNAs are small regulatory RNA molecules, encoded in the genome, that base-pair with specific messenger RNAs and control their translation. MicroRNAs function in diverse physiological and developmental processes in animals, and in the nematode C. elegans, certain microRNAs figure prominently in the control of developmental timing by the heterochronic gene pathway. The genetic control of C. elegans developmental timing has provided a powerful model system for the genetic analysis of the function of certain microRNAs that are highly conserved between worms and mammals. C. elegans developmental timing mutants have moreover identified proteins that are part of the regulatory machinery associated with microRNAs and that could serve to mediate the regulation of microRNA activity by signaling pathways."
