MicroRNA 3′-compensatory pairing occurs through two binding modes, with affinity shaped by nucleotide identity and position
MicroRNAs (miRNAs), in association with Argonaute (AGO) proteins, direct repression by pairing to sites within mRNAs. Compared to pairing preferences of the miRNA seed region (nucleotides 2–8), preferences of the miRNA 3′ region are poorly understood, due to the sparsity of measured affinities for t...
