Abstract

tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs, or tRFs) are a new category of regulatory noncoding RNAs with versatile functions. Recent emerging studies have begun to unveil distinct features of tsRNAs based on their sequence, RNA modifications, and structures that differentially impact their functions towards regulating multiple aspects of translational control and ribosome biogenesis.
