Integrating microRNA and mRNA expression profiles for identification of regulatory networks

by Chris on October 15, 2009

The discovery of microRNA as an additional regulatory mechanism has been a revolution to the field of Developmental Biology. While early research has focused on the identification of miRNAs using a combination of experimental and computational techniques, subsequent studies have focused on identification of miRNA-target mRNA pairs as a means of identifying regulatory networks. It has been shown that the relationship between messenger RNA and microRNA (often an inverse relationship) plays a large role in cell functionality, especially in the early stages of cell development.
