Abstract excerpt
MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs, 19-24 nucleotides in length that bind to the 3'UTR of target mRNAs and thus regulate gene expression post transcriptionally. MiRNAs have been implicated in various biological and pathological processes. The binding of miRNAs to 3'UTR is crucial for regulating the mRNA level and hence protein expression. The complementarity between the miRNA and its target mRNA is critical for...
