Description for Regulation of microRNAs
hardcover. Given this pervasiveness and importance of miRNA-mediated gene regulation, it should come as little surprise that miRNAs themselves are also highly regulated. This book illustrates the extent of post-transcriptional regulation of miRNAs. Editor(s): Grosshans, Helge. Series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology. Num Pages: 160 pages, 29 black & white illustrations, 6 colour illustrations, 2 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: MBGR; MFN; PSAK1. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 254 x 178 x 15. Weight in Grams: 543.
Given this pervasiveness and importance of miRNA-mediated gene regulation, it should come as little surprise that miRNAs themselves are also highly regulated. However, the recent explosion of knowledge on this topic has been remarkable, providing a primary motivation for publication of this book. As miRNAs are transcribed by RNA polymerase II, the enzyme that also generates mRNAs, it was perhaps not unexpected that miRNA transcription would be subject to regulation, and we have willfully mitted this aspect from this monograph. However, what has been unexpected is the extent of post-transcriptional regulation of miRNAs that is illustrated in this book.
