Summary from Dryad: "Abstract: More than 60% of myeloid dysplasia syndrome (MDS) contains mutations in genes encoding for splicing factors such as SF3B1, U2AF, SRSF2 and ZRSR2. Mutations in SF3B1 are associated with 80% cases of refractory anemia with ring sideroblast (RARS), a subtype of MDS. SF3B1K700E is the most frequently mutated site among mutations on SF3B1. Yet the molecular mechanisms on...

Summary from GEO: "A canonical pathway generates microRNAs (miRNAs) via stepwise cleavage of hairpin precursors by RNase III enzymes Drosha and Dicer, followed by loading of resultant ~22 nucleotide (nt) RNAs into an Argonaute (Ago) effector complex. In addition, non-canonical substrates can bypass either RNase III enzyme to yield functional small RNAs, including hundreds of intron-derived hairpins...
