Stable Intronic Sequence RNAs Engage in Feedback Loops

Publication date: Available online 31 January 2018 Source:Trends in Genetics Author(s): Jun Wei Pek Stable intronic sequence RNAs (sisRNAs) are conserved in various organisms. Recent observations in Drosophila suggest that sisRNAs often engage in regulatory feedback loops to control the expression of their parental genes. The use of sisRNAs as mediators for local feedback control may be a general phenomenon.
