Paralogous lncRNAs CYTOR and MORRBID share a conserved trans acting function in MEK ERK signaling

Tahleel Ali-Nasser, Carolina Khoury, Susie Altalef Mishaan, Ornit Bhonkar, Zhongyang Lin, Youfen Qian, Nisrine Lahoud-Jeries, Dvir Aran, Assaf C. Bester

The paper shows CYTOR and MORRBID lncRNAs share a conserved trans-acting function in MEK-ERK signaling, despite transcriptional divergence.

Germ Granules Functions are Memorized by Transgenerationally Inherited Small RNAs

Itamar Lev, Itai Antoine Toker, Yael Mor, Anat Nitzan, Guy Weintraub, Olga Antonova, Ornit Bhonkar, Itay Ben Shushan, Uri Seroussi, Julie M. Claycomb, Sarit Anava, Hila Gingold, Ronen Zaidel‐Bar, Oded Rechavi

The paper shows that transgenerational small RNA inheritance in C. elegans can occur independently of germ granules in some mutants, but depends on ancestral germ granule function and HRDE-1.
