A population-based statistical approach identifies parameters characteristic of human microRNA-mRNA interactions [PDF]
BACKGROUND: MicroRNAs are ~17–24 nt. noncoding RNAs found in all eukaryotes that degrade messenger RNAs via RNA interference (if they bind in a perfect or near-perfect complementarity to the target mRNA), or arrest translation (if the binding is ...

Intrinsic noise of microRNA-regulated genes and the ceRNA hypothesis [PDF]
MicroRNAs are small noncoding RNAs that regulate genes post-transciptionally by binding and degrading target eukaryotic mRNAs. We use a quantitative model to study gene regulation by inhibitory microRNAs and compare it to gene regulation by prokaryotic ...

Clusters of microRNAs emerge by new hairpins in existing transcripts [PDF]
Genetic linkage may result in the expression of multiple products from a polycistronic transcript, under the control of a single promoter. In animals, protein-coding polycistronic transcripts are rare.

Downregulation of plasma MiR-142-3p and MiR-26a-5p in patients with colorectal carcinoma [PDF]
Background: Colorectal cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers and cancer- related death worldwide. Identification of new specific biomarkers could be helpful to detection of this malignancy.

MicroRNA-222 regulates muscle alternative splicing through Rbm24 during differentiation of skeletal muscle cells [PDF]
A number of microRNAs have been shown to regulate skeletal muscle development and differentiation. MicroRNA-222 is downregulated during myogenic differentiation and its overexpression leads to alteration of muscle differentiation process and specialized ...

Identifying mRNA targets of microRNA dysregulated in cancer: with application to clear cell Renal Cell Carcinoma [PDF]
BACKGROUND. MicroRNA regulate mRNA levels in a tissue specific way, either by inducing degradation of the transcript or by inhibiting translation or transcription.

Target RNAs strike back on MicroRNAs [PDF]
MicroRNAs are extensively studied regulatory non-coding small RNAs that silence animal genes throughout most biological processes, typically doing so by binding to partially complementary sequences within target RNAs.
