In Silico and In Vitro Analyses Validate Human MicroRNAs Targeting the SARS-CoV-2 3′-UTR

COVID-19 pandemic is caused by betacoronavirus SARS-CoV-2. The genome of this virus is composed of a single strand of RNA with 5′ and 3′-UTR flanking a region of protein-coding ORFs closely resembling cells’ mRNAs. MicroRNAs are endogenous post-transcriptional regulators that target mRNA to modulate...
