microRNA Functions
Abstract
microRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that play important roles in posttranscriptional gene regulation. In animal cells, miRNAs regulate their targets by translational inhibition and mRNA destabilization. Here, we review recent work in animal models that provide insight into the diverse roles of miRNAs in vivo.

Most animal miRNAs recognize target sites in 3' UTRs by incomplete base-pairing, resulting in mRNA destabilization or translational repression of target genes.
“Most animal miRNAs recognize their target sites located in 39 UTRs by incomplete basepairing, resulting in mRNA destabilization or translational repression of the target genes (He and Hannon 2004;Bushati and Cohen 2007).”

“Moreover, it has been reported that many apparently unrelated miRNAs may have a common target gene, or sometimes one miRNA may target multiple genes in one pathway [95, 96].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
