RNA-RNA interactions have critical roles in many cellular processes, but studying them is difficult and laborious. Here we describe an experimental procedure, termed cross-linking …
miRNAs are short (20–23nt) RNAs that are loaded into proteins of the Argonaute (AGO) family and guide them to partially complementary target sites on mRNAs, resulting in mRNA …
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have critical roles in the regulation of gene expression; however, as miRNA activity requires base pairing with only 6-8 nucleotides of messenger RNA …

Despite a library full of literature on miRNA biology, core issues relating to miRNA target detection, biological effect, and mode of action remain controversial. This essay proposes …
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression by guiding Argonaute proteins to specific target mRNA sequences. Identification of bona fide miRNA target sites in animals is …
We introduce a biophysical model of miRNA-target interaction and infer its parameters from Argonaute 2 cross-linking and immunoprecipitation data. We show that a substantial fraction …
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate mRNA targets through perfect pairing with their seed region (positions 2–7). Recently, a precise genome-wide map of miRNA interaction sites in mouse …
miRNAs are small RNAs that guide Argonaute proteins to specific target mRNAs to repress their translation and stability. Canonically, miRNA targeting is reliant on base pairing of the …
