Identification and binding-site mapping of RNA-binding proteins interacting with microRNA precursors in Arabidopsis

BackgroundMicroRNAs (miRNAs) play key roles in modulating gene expression.

BackgroundMicroRNAs (miRNAs) play key roles in modulating gene expression. Upon transcription, primary miRNA transcripts (pri-miRNAs or MIRNAs) fold into stem-loop structures. Endonucleolytic cleavage releases a miRNA/miRNA* duplex from the stem, which is subsequently matured.…
