Among the large, diverse set of mammalian long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), long noncoding primary microRNAs (lnc-pri-miRNAs) are those that host miRNAs. Whether lnc-pri-miRNA loci have important ...

MicroRNAs—as an entirely new class of gene-expression regulators (discovered in humans in 2001)—have elicited widespread interest. These noncoding, single-stranded, 20 to 25 nucleotide RNAs regulate ...

miRNAs are master regulators of gene expression, according to William S. Marshall, Ph.D., president and CEO of miRagen Therapeutics. “You can have one microRNA that controls multiple genes and one ...
