Any process of gene inactivation (silencing) in which small RNAs trigger degradation of mRNA.

Down regulation of gene expression through the action of microRNAs (miRNAs), endogenous 21-24 nucleotide small RNAs processed from stem-loop RNA precursors (pre-miRNAs). Once incorporated into a RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), miRNAs can downregulate gene expression by either of two posttranscriptional mechanisms: mRNA cleavage or translational repression.

miRNA-mediated gene silencing, production of miRNAs

Cleavage of stem-loop RNA precursors into microRNAs (miRNAs), a class of small RNAs that primarily silence genes by blocking the translation of mRNA transcripts into protein.

oocyte nucleus localization during oocyte axis determination (sensu Insecta)

oocyte axis determination, oocyte nucleus localization (sensu Insecta)

The directed movement of the nucleus to a specific location within a cell during the establishment and maintenance of the axes of the oocyte. As in, but not restricted to, the true insects (Insecta, ncbi_taxonomy_id:50557).

oocyte nucleus localization during oocyte axis determination

oocyte axis determination, oocyte nucleus localization

The directed movement of the nucleus to a specific location within a cell during the establishment and maintenance of the axes of the oocyte.

Interacting selectively with a microRNA, a 21-23 nucleotide RNA that is processed from a stem-loop RNA precursor (pre-miRNA) that is encoded within plant and animal genomes.

second mitotic wave (sensu Endopterygota)

A discrete cell cycle that occurs during the third instar eye imaginal disc after progression of the morphogenetic furrow. It is essential for generation of a sufficient pool of uncommitted cells to develop complete ommatidia. As in, but not restricted to, the Holometabola (Endopterygota, ncbi_taxonomy_id:33392).

The specific avoidance actions or reactions of an organism in response to the perception of salt.

establishment and maintenance of lipid raft localization

The processes by which lipid rafts are transported to, or maintained in, a specific location. Lipid rafts are tightly-packed gel-like membrane microdomains enriched in sphingolipids and cholesterol.
