Circadian clocks: timely interference by microRNAs

Curr Biol. 2007 Sep 4;17(17):R760-2. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2007.07.001.

Abstract

Transcriptional/post-translational feedback loops have dominated ideas about how circadian clocks are able to keep time. An entirely new level of feedback regulation -- post-transcriptional regulatory microRNAs -- has now been added to the circadian mix.
