Computational prediction and experimental validation of evolutionarily conserved microRNA target genes in bilaterian animals

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>In many eukaryotes, microRNAs (miRNAs) bind to complementary sites in the 3'-untranslated regions (3'-UTRs) of target messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and regulate their expression at the stage of translation. Recent studies have rev...
