MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression by either degrading or inhibiting the translation of mRNAs and have significant roles in the development of various ...

This played a key role in mapping the HD gene (Gusella et al., 1983). Although researchers had discovered that the G8 DNA probe was likely to correspond to a polymorphic chromosomal region located ...

A research team has recently constructed a global polymorphism genetic map of variable ... particularly their regulatory roles in gene expression. "We found that VNTRs can influence gene ...
