MiRNAs are assumed to be important in animal development and physiology, but their specific roles in vivo are still poorly understood. New bioinformatic and genetic studies are setting the stage for unraveling the specific biological functions of miRNAs.

Transitivity in plants is a mechanism that produces secondary small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) from a transcript targeted by primary small RNAs (sRNAs). It expands the silencing signal to additional sequences of the transcript. The process requires RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RDRs), which convert single-stranded RNA targets into a double-stranded (ds) RNA, the precursor of siRNAs and is critical for effective and amplified responses to virus infection.
