The mRNA targets of miRNA can be determined by using bioinformatics methods and bioassays for monitoring the amounts of target mRNA. In plants, miRNA binding sites are usually found in the coding ...

causing translational repression and/or mRNA degradation 1. Despite recent advances in large-scale target screening techniques, experimental validation of miRNA targets remains cumbersome ...

The kit purifies all sizes of RNA, from large mRNA and ribosomal RNA down to microRNA (miRNA). The RNA is preferentially purified from other cellular components such as proteins, without the use ...

Herpesvirus-encoded microRNAs (v-miRNAs) play a crucial role in modulating host cellular processes to promote viral persistence, immune evasion, and pathogenesis. These v-miRNAs function by targeting ...

There are a number of ongoing microRNA trials aimed at combating cancer ... Go deeper: Scientists behind mRNA vaccines win Nobel Prize in Medicine Editor's note: This story was corrected to ...
