Epigenetics and microRNAs

Pål Saetrom et al. Pediatr Res. 2007 May.

Abstract

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate protein-coding genes post transcriptionally in higher eukaryotes. Argonaute proteins are important in miRNA regulation and are also implicated in epigenetic mechanisms such as histone modifications and DNA methylation. Here, we review miRNA regulation and outline its connections to epigenetics.
