<h4>Background</h4>MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNA molecules that target mRNAs to control gene expression by attenuating the translational efficiency and stability of transcripts. They are found in a wide variety of organisms, from plants to insects and humans. Here, we use Drosophila to investigate the possibility that circadian clocks regulate the expression of miRNAs.<h4>Results</h4>We used a microarray platform to survey the daily levels of D. melanogaster miRNAs in adult heads o ...[more]
