Abstract
The need for discovering new genes driving metabolic disease susceptibility is clear; even clearer is the need for their subsequent functional characterization. A new paper reports a role for miR-128-1 in metabolic control through a series of elegant mouse studies, and an intriguing hypothesis about its "thrifty" role in metabolism.
