A 5′-uridine amplifies miRNA/miRNA* asymmetry in Drosophila by promoting RNA-induced silencing complex formation

BACKGROUND: MicroRNA (miRNA) are diverse in sequence and have a single known sequence bias: they tend to start with uridine (U). RESULTS: Our analyses of fly, worm and mouse miRNA sequence data reveal that the 5′-U is recognized after miRNA production. Only one of the two strands can be assembled in...
