In plants, miRNA binding sites are usually found in the coding regions, while in animals, they are often in the 3' untranslated region of mRNA (Chen & Rajewsky, 2007). However, manipulating these ...
Insect miRNAs can be transferred to their host plants upon feeding. This study shows that a conserved insect microRNA plays a ...
Since these diverse 3’UTRs contain multiplecis-regulatory elements such as miRNA binding sites, many target RNAs possess different functions, stability and translation efficiency, says Li.
