Proposed mechanism of microRNA2118

Caption

MicroRNA2118 targets over 1000 long non-coding RNAs for cleavage to produce many secondary uracil-rich small RNAs, which is possibly aided by Argonaute. These secondary small RNAs then may interact with Argonaute to regulate development of reproductive organs.
