MicroRNAs: a new insight into cancer genome.

Abstract excerpt

Cancer is a disease involving multi-step dynamic changes in the genome. However, studies on cancer genome so far have focused most heavily on protein-coding genes, and our knowledge on alterations of the functional noncoding sequences in cancer is largely absent. MicroRNAs (miRNA) are approximately 22 nt noncoding RNAs, which regulate gene expression in a sequence-specific manner via translational inhibition or...
