Abstract excerpt
Comprehensive analyses of results from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have demonstrated that complex disease/trait-associated loci are enriched in gene regulatory regions of the genome. The search for causal regulatory variation has focused primarily on transcriptional elements, such as promoters and enhancers. microRNAs (miRNAs) are now widely appreciated as critical posttranscriptional regulators of...
