Abstract

MicroRNA-mediated gene silencing can occur by either target mRNA degradation or translational repression. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Dallaire etal. (2018) show in C. elegans that tissue-specific composition of the silencing complex, miRISC, plays a major role in determining the fate of target mRNAs.
