Theoretical studies on sRNA-mediated regulation in bacteria
TLDR
Some models in which two target mRNAs are silenced by the same sRNA to discuss their crosstalk features and the sequence-function relationship of sRNA and its role in the kinetic process of base-pairing have been highlighted in model building.
Mathematical model for autoregulated miRNA biogenesis
TLDR
A detailed mathematical model of microRNA biogenesis is built to investigate the regulatory role of biogenesis pathway components and results lead to three hypotheses that can decrease the net functional cytoplasmic miRNA.
Mathematical modeling of combinatorial regulation suggests that apparent positive regulation of targets by miRNA could be an artifact resulting from competition for mRNA.
TLDR
It is shown that miRNA that individually have a negative effect on their targets may exhibit an apparently positive net effect when the concentration of one miRNA is experimentally perturbed by repression/overexpression in such a multi-miRNA multitarget situation, and that this apparent unexpected effect is due to competition and will not be observed when miRNA interact noncompetitively with the target mRNA.
Connecting the molecular function of microRNAs to cell differentiation dynamics
TLDR
A general computational model of cell differentiation is built and shown that in large gene regulatory networks, microRNAs can control differentiation time without significantly changing steady-state gene expression profiles, which may help explain why tissue-based organisms exclusively depend on miRNA-mediated regulation, while their more primitive counterparts do not.
U7 snRNA, a small RNA with a big impact in gene therapy.
TLDR
VES/VEI has emerged as a promising therapeutic platform for treating a large variety of human diseases caused by errors in pre-mRNA splicing or its regulation.
Can we always sweep the details of RNA-processing under the carpet?
TLDR
It is shown analytically and numerically that when enzyme copy-numbers fluctuate, the strength of RNA fluctuations increases linearly with the RNA transcription rate, and this linear effect becomes stronger as the speed of enzyme dynamics decreases relative to thespeed of RNA dynamics.
Understanding microRNA-mediated gene regulatory networks through mathematical modelling
TLDR
The most recent developments that utilise different mathematical modelling approaches to provide quantitative insights into the function of miRNAs in the regulation of gene expression are reviewed.
The Role of CAF-1 in Epigenetic Conversions at the Telomeres of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and its Control by Protein Kinases
TLDR
The deletion of CAC1, the largest subunit of the CAF-1 complex, causes a major reduction in the frequency of telomeric epigenetic conversions, indicating that Cac1 is a key factor in this process.
A synthetic circuit for buffering gene dosage variation between individual mammalian cells
TLDR
Plasmid-based synthetic circuits – Equalizers – that buffer copy-number variation at the single-cell level and outperform other gene dosage compensation topologies and produce as low cell-to-cell variation as chromosomally integrated genes are reported.
Demyelinating Neuropathy in a Patient Treated With Revusiran for Transthyretin (Thr60Ala) Amyloidosis
TLDR
A man with late-onset cardiac amyloidosis due to a transthyretin Thr60Ala mutation who was treated with an investigational RNAi therapeutic, revusiran, which targets hepatic tran StHyretin production develops bilateral lower-extremity weakness and numbness, worsening balance, difficulty manipulating objects with his hands, and finger numbness.

Quantitative Characteristics of Gene Regulation by Small RNA
TLDR
The results demonstrate that sRNA provides a novel mode of gene regulation, with characteristics distinct from those of protein-mediated gene regulation; these include a threshold-linear response with a tunable threshold, a robust noise resistance characteristic, and a built-in capability for hierarchical cross-talk.
Modeling RNA interference in mammalian cells
TLDR
Four different mathematical models of RNA interference are tested and validated by quantitatively fitting models' parameters to best capture the in vitro experimental data, showing that a simple Hill kinetic model is the most efficient way to model RNA interference.
Disruption of small RNA signaling caused by competition for Hfq
TLDR
In vivo, it is shown in vivo that Hfq can be a limiting factor for sRNA activity and that it can be easily depleted, causing disruption of the sRNA network.
Switching off small RNA regulation with trap‐mRNA
TLDR
It is shown that MicM, which silences the expression of an outer membrane protein, YbfM under most growth conditions, does not become destabilized by target mRNA overexpression, indicating that the small RNA regulator acts catalytically.
Regulation of gene expression by small non-coding RNAs: a quantitative view
TLDR
It is shown quantitatively that regulation by sRNAs is advantageous when fast responses to external signals are needed, consistent with experimental data about its involvement in stress responses, and thatregulation by sRNA may provide fine‐tuning of gene expression.
Quantitative functions of Argonaute proteins in mammalian development.
TLDR
It is reported that microRNAs are randomly sorted to individual Argonautes in mammals, independent of the slicer activity, and the results reveal a quantitative picture for microRNA activity in mammals.

Combinatorial delivery of small interfering RNAs reduces RNAi efficacy by selective incorporation into RISC
TLDR
It is shown that both synthetic siRNAs and expressed shRNAs compete against each other and with the endogenous microRNAs for transport and for incorporation into the RNA induced silencing complex (RISC).
