Intronic microRNAs support their host genes by mediating synergistic and antagonistic regulatory effects

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>MicroRNA-mediated control of gene expression via translational inhibition has substantial impact on cellular regulatory mechanisms. About 37% of mammalian microRNAs appear to be located within introns of protein coding genes, linking...
