IBM and the Genome Institute of Singapore have reported findings from a joint research study that provides new information on how stem cell differentiation is controlled by microRNAs. The two teams have shown that microRNAs -- small molecules that are an important regulatory component in the machinery of living cells -- have roles that go well-beyond what was previously thought.
