MicroRNAs: master regulators in host–parasitic protist interactions

MicroRNAs: master regulators in host–parasitic protist interactions

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a group of small non-coding RNAs present in a wide diversity of organisms. MiRNAs regulate gene expression at a post-transcriptional level through their interaction with the 3′ untranslated regions of target mRNAs, inducing translational inhibition or mRNA destabilization and...
