Microarray

Describe microarray experiments carried out by Lim et al. (2005) to prove that mir-124 is important for defining brain specific gene expression pattern and that the 5’-end of this miRNA is sufficient for its function.

Essay Question: miR-124 is a microRNA (miRNA) that is preferentially expressed in the brain. Briefly, summarise how miRNAs mediate post-transcriptional repression. Describe microarray experiments carried out by Lim et al. (2005) to prove that mir-124 is important for defining brain specific gene expression pattern and that the 5’-end of this miRNA is sufficient for its […]
