Gene regulatory activity of newly discovered small RNA species in Drosophila melanogaster

siRNAs and miRNAs are well-characterized small regulatory RNAs in eukaryotic organisms. In Drosophila melanogaster, the miRNA and RNAi pathways are distinct from one another, despite being principally similar in their involvement of Dicer and Argonaute proteins for mounting repression. Interestingly...
