  • A 23-nucleotide sequence conserved in species from rice to Arabidopsis thaliana in a family of noncoding RNAs resembles a cleavable miRNA target site—but not exactly. A new study demonstrates that the site is not cleaved and instead negatively regulates miRNA activity through mimicry.

  • Two genome-wide association studies report three loci predisposing to restless legs syndrome, a common sleep disorder also associated with periodic limb movements during sleep. The identified variants account for a large portion of population-attributable risk in individuals of European ancestry and may preferentially affect various symptoms of the disorder.
