  • Small regulatory RNAs and methods of use
    Publication number: 20070111227
    Abstract: The present invention relates to unique small ribonucleic acid molecules, for example siRNAs and miRNAs, identified and isolated using MPSS. Specifically, the invention is directed to the identification of a library of unique small RNA sequences from Arabidopsis thaliana. In another aspect, the small RNA sequences themselves are useful for performing biological functions, such as for example, RNA interference.

  • Methods of identifying aberrant RNA or RNA targeted for cleavage by miRNA or siRNA
    Publication number: 20060252072
    Abstract: The invention provides novel methods of identifying RNA that is targeted for cleavage by mRNA or siRNA or genes that give rise to aberrant RNA. The invention also provides the use in processes for identifying aberrant RNA or RNA targeted for cleavage by mRNA or siRNA of mutant eukaryotic cells or non-human organisms in which the gene encoding the enzyme AtXRN4 or its homologue is defective.
