What's a GeneRIF?

Collectively, these results suggest decreased SMN leads to defective microRNA function via MEL-46 misregulation, followed by increased M2 muscarinic receptor expression, and neuronal dysfunction in Spinal Muscular Atrophy.
Title: Decreased microRNA levels lead to deleterious increases in neuronal M2 muscarinic receptors in Spinal Muscular Atrophy models.
mel-46 encodes a DEAD box protein that is required maternally for early embryogenesis and zygotically for postembryonic development
Title: The DEAD-box protein MEL-46 is required in the germ line of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.
