Abstract excerpt
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small non-coding ribonucleotides that regulate expression of target genes governing diverse biological functions. Mechanistically, miRNA binding to the target complimentary sequences on the mRNA results in degradation or inhibition of protein translation. The short guiding and binding sequence of miRNA allows them to target a large repertoire of transcripts altering expression of...
