## Regulation of defecation

miR-786 is involved in control of the defecation motor programme, together with miR-240.[1] These two miRNAs are necessary for normal defecation programme rhythmicity, and average cycle time has been found to be increased in miR-24/786 C. elegans.[2] Decreased cycle times have conversely been observed with miR-52 knockout in C. elegans.
