Next-generation sequencing of the porcine skeletal muscle transcriptome for computational prediction of microRNA gene targets.

BACKGROUND: MicroRNA are a class of small RNAs that regulate gene expression by inhibiting translation of protein encoding transcripts through targeting of a microRNA-protein complex by base-pairing of the microRNA sequence to cognate recognition sequences in the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of...
