Are microRNAs involved in alternative splicing?
It was also shown that microRNAs such as miR-124 are able to change neuron fate by affecting brain-specific pre-mRNA alternative splicing.
What does broadly conserved mean?
broadly conserved = conserved across most vertebrates, usually to zebrafish (Supplemental Table 1 of Friedman et al.) poorly conserved = all others.
What is mirSVR score?
The mirSVR score (version 3.3a, 2010) is a new ranking system that scores targets predicted by miRanda using seven features to improve the MR approach. PT was last updated in 2008 (version 6) and considers only five parameters to perform the target prediction.
How do microRNAs affect gene expression?
microRNA controls gene expression mainly by binding with messenger RNA (mRNA) in the cell cytoplasm. Instead of being translated quickly into a protein, the marked mRNA will be either destroyed and its components recycled, or it will be preserved and translated later.
How does miRNA bind to mRNA?
In most cases, miRNAs interact with the 3′ untranslated region (3′ UTR) of target mRNAs to induce mRNA degradation and translational repression. However, interaction of miRNAs with other regions, including the 5′ UTR, coding sequence, and gene promoters, have also been reported.

What is DROSHA enzyme?
DROSHA is a nuclear RNase III enzyme responsible for cleaving primary microRNAs (miRNAs) into precursor miRNAs and thus is essential for the biogenesis of canonical miRNAs.
What are RNA targets and position dependent splicing regulation?
Characterizing the RNA targets and position-dependent splicing regulation by TDP-43 TDP-43 is a predominantly nuclear RNA-binding protein that forms inclusion bodies in frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The mRNA targets of TDP-43 in the human brain and its role in RNA processing are largely unknown.
How is TargetScan used to predict biological targets?
TargetScan predicts biological targets of miRNAs by searching for the presence of conserved 8mer, 7mer, and 6mersites that match the seed regionof each miRNA (Lewis et al., 2005). As an option, predictions with only poorly conserved sites are also provided.
How does TargetScan predict biological targets of miRNAs?
TargetScan predicts biological targets of miRNAs by searching for the presence of conserved 8mer, 7mer, and 6mersites that match the
How does the circinteractome predict RNA binding sites?
Here we have used 109 datasets of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) and queried circRNAs (Glažar et al. 2014) for RNA-binding sites. CircInteractome predicts the miRNAs which can potentially target the circRNAs using the Targetscan prediction tool (Grimson et al., 2007).
