The paper shows that translation is required for miRNA-dependent transcript decay, as non-translated lncRNAs are minimally affected by miRNA loss, while translated transcripts are destabilized.

The paper identifies miRNA targets using an unbiased statistical approach and finds that noncanonical targeting contributes significantly to miRNA regulation.

The paper identifies cell cycle-associated lincRNAs in mouse embryonic stem cells and shows their role in cell cycle regulation and pluripotency maintenance.
