The requirement for bantam miRNA in GSC maintenance has been previously shown in "Stage-specific differences in the requirements for germline stem cell maintenance in the Drosophila ovary". Shcherbata HR, Ward EJ, Fischer KA, Yu JY, Reynolds SH, Chen CH, Xu P, Hay BA, Ruohola-Baker H. Cell Stem Cell. 2007 Dec 13;1(6):698-709. I think this article must have been cited.
