  "summary": "MicroRNAs have been likened to the \"dark matter\" of eukaryotic genomes, reflecting their pervasive regulatory influence. MicroRNAs were first identified through genetic studies of developmental timing in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Let-7 was the first microRNA recognized to be broadly conserved. The principal target of Let-7 in the developmental timing pathway is the TRIM-NHL RNA-binding…",
