Zhao and colleagues [ 52] identified frizzled (denoted FZD2) as the human homologue of the Drosophila polarity-determining gene.
Expression of 24 novel miRNA genes was verified by northern analysis (including 20 out of 27 candidates that were supported by third-species conservation and 4 out of 11 high-scoring predictions specific to Drosophila ), demonstrating that the bioinformatic screen was successful.
The 5' ends of a large subset of experimentally derived Drosophila miRNAs were recently observed to be perfectly complementary to Brd boxes, K boxes and GY boxes, a set of 3' UTR sequence motifs involved in post-transcriptional regulation [ 47 53 54 55 ] . This suggests that, at least in Drosophila , a subset of relevant miRNA targets might be found by searching for complements to the 5'-most 8-10 nucleotides of miRNAs in 3' UTRs.
Our confidence in the high-scoring Drosophila -specific candidates, most of which we did not test in this study, will also undoubtedly be bolstered by their conservation in the genomes of additional species of Drosophila . We eagerly await the initiation of these sequencing projects.
For example, whereas rhythmicity of locomotor activity is governed by a pacemaker within a discrete set of neurons in the Drosophila brain [ 8 9 ] , molecular and physiological studies have also established the presence of autonomous circadian clocks in isolated appendages and excretory structures [ 10 11 12 ] . Moreover, the molecular mechanisms underlying clock function in these tissues may not be identical [ 13 ] . Finally, many rhythmic phenotypes expressed in flies can occur on different time scales.
