Competing endogenous RNAs: a target-centric view of small RNA regulation in bacteria

Nature Reviews Microbiology 14, 775 (2016). doi:10.1038/nrmicro.2016.129 Authors: Lionello Bossi & Nara Figueroa-Bossi Many bacterial regulatory small RNAs (sRNAs) have several mRNA targets, which places them at the centre of regulatory networks that help bacteria to adapt to environmental changes. However, different mRNA targets of any given sRNA compete with each other for binding to the sRNA; thus,
