Beyond sequence homology: Cellular biology limits the potential of XIST to act as a miRNA sponge.

<h4>Introduction</h4>The sponging of microRNAs by a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) away from their coding gene targets is a conceptually-simple, yet biologically-complex method of lncRNA-mediated gene regulation. Currently, predictions of genes that participate in sponge-based regulation a...
