Abstract excerpt
Small RNAs play essential roles in gene regulation across diverse biological processes. Crosslinking, ligation, and sequencing of hybrids (CLASH) experiments have revealed that PIWI and Argonaute proteins can each bind a wide range of mRNA targets with distinct base-pairing rules, raising questions about the flexibility and functional relevance of these interactions. Given that crosslinking-induced mutations...
