Target RNA-directed microRNA degradation; which controls which? %K %X In general, microRNAs (miRNAs) control target gene expression by inhibiting translation and destroying target RNAs (1,2). However, interestingly some endogenous coding or noncoding RNAs have a function to sequester miRNAs from the real target RNAs by hybridization (called sponge function) without degradation and they are also known as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) (3,4). %U https://ncri.amegroups.org/article/view/4774 %V 2 %P %@ 2522-6673
