• Dicer-1 and R3D1-L catalyze microRNA maturation in Drosophila.

  In Drosophila melanogaster, Dicer-2/R2D2 and Dicer-1 generate small interfering RNA (siRNA) and microRNA (miRNA), respectively. Here we identify a nov…

• Dicer-1, but not Loquacious, is critical for assembly of miRNA-induced silencing complexes.

  Double-stranded RNA-binding proteins (dsRBPs), such as R2D2 and Loquacious (Loqs), function in tandem with Dicer (Dcr) enzymes in RNA interference (RN…

• Dpp signaling silences bam transcription directly to establish asymmetric divisions of germline stem cells.

  Stem cells execute self-renewing and asymmetric cell divisions in close association with stromal cells that form a niche. The mechanisms that link str…
