Mammalian microRNAs predominantly act to decrease target mRNA levels
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous ∼22-nucleotide RNAs that play important gene-regulatory roles by pairing to the mRNAs of protein-coding genes to direct their repression. Repression of these regulatory targets leads to decreased translational efficiency and/or decreased mRNA levels, but the relativ...
