Abstract excerpt
A large number of human protein-coding genes are finely regulated by one or more microRNAs. Members of this small noncoding RNA family have emerged as important post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression and are involved in a number of disease phenotypes. Variability in the human genome is extensive and includes the common and rare single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and copy number variations (CNVs)....
