Regulation of Gene Expression by Small RNAs

Herausgeber: Gaur, Rajesh K; Rossi, John J

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Recent research demonstrates that defects in the processing mechanisms of small non-coding RNAs are linked to various human diseases. This text explores the latest research on microRNAs and their functional roles in cells and organisms. Written by international experts, discussion includes the identification, characterization, and structure-function analysis of microRNAs; the study of microRNAs in growth and development, cancer, and viruses; and the applications of microRNAs with respect to gene regulation, functional genomics, and therapeutics. This book is a valuable reference for established researchers as well as fellows and advanced students.
