Researchers at Yale University have discovered that microRNAs play key roles in modulating the expression of genes involved in DNA damage recognition and repair. They used a combination of microRNA microarrays (for identification of the miRs), bioinformatics (for prediction of the miR targets), and luciferase assays (for confirmation of the miR targets) to make their discoveries.
