Small RNAs: New microRNA-like molecules

Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology 17, 396 (2016). doi:10.1038/nrm.2016.84 Author: Eytan Zlotorynski Hansen et al. describe a new class of short regulatory RNAs, which associate with Argonaute (AGO) proteins and derive from short introns, hence are termed agotrons. The authors annotated 87 agotrons in human and 18 in mouse, and found that they are conserved across
