Imperfect centered miRNA binding sites are common and can mediate repression of target mRNAs

BACKGROUND: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) bind to mRNAs and target them for translational inhibition or transcriptional degradation. It is thought that most miRNA-mRNA interactions involve the seed region at the 5′ end of the miRNA. The importance of seed sites is supported by experimental evidence, although t...
