The paper identifies tts-2 as a TDMD trigger that drives decay of the mir-35-42 miRNA family in C. elegans embryos through base pairing with their seed sequence.

The paper identifies a noncanonical miRNA biogenesis pathway in C. elegans and humans that is Pol III-dependent, Microprocessor-independent, and Dicer-dependent, generating germline-enriched miRNAs like mir-1829 and miR-4521.

The paper identifies enzymes responsible for miRNA tailing in C. elegans and shows tailing does not globally regulate miRNA decay.

The paper shows that the decay of the mir-35 miRNA family in C. elegans is seed sequence-dependent and selectively regulates all members of the family during development.
