Complications in mammalian microRNA target prediction.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this chapter, we review evidence that at least three different types of microRNA (miRNA)-messenger RNA (mRNA) target interactions exist in mammals: short seeds, long seeds, and "perfect" hits (allowing G:U matches). Because new types of miRNAs are still being discovered, this list may not yet be complete.

متن کاملPrediction of human miRNA target genes using computationally reconstructed ancestral mammalian sequences
MicroRNAs (miRNA) are short single-stranded RNA molecules derived from hairpin-forming precursors that play a crucial role as post-transcriptional regulators in eukaryotes and viruses. In the past years, many microRNA target genes (MTGs) have been identified experimentally. However, because of the high costs of experimental approaches, target genes databases remain incomplete. Although several ...
متن کاملInsight into temperature-dependent microRNA function in mammalian hibernators
Mammalian hibernation involves re-programming of metabolic functions, in part, facilitated by microRNA. Although much is known about microRNA function, we lack knowledge on low temperature microRNA target selection. It is possible that the thermodynamics of microRNA target selection could dictate unique temperature-dependent sets of microRNA targets for hibernators.
