title: Tailoring MicroRNA Function: The Role of Uridylation in Antagonizing Mirtron Expression.
abstract: In this issue of Molecular Cell, Bortolamiol-Becet et al. (2015) and Reimão-Pinto et al. (2015) show that in flies Tailor preferentially uridylates mirtron pre-miRNA hairpins to suppress their biogenesis.
