Regulation of Gene Expression by Small RNAs

Research demonstrates that defects in the processing mechanisms of small non-coding RNAs are linked to various human diseases. This text explores microRNAs and their functional roles in cells and organisms. It includes a study of microRNAs in development, cancer, and viruses.
