Abstract excerpt
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression by altering the translation efficiency and/or stability of targeted mRNAs. In vertebrates, more than 50% of all protein-coding RNAs are assumed to be subject to miRNA-mediated control, but current high-throughput methods that reliably measure miRNA-mRNA interactions either require prior knowledge of target mRNAs or...
