A

o Allow us to predict mRNA targets for microRNAs

2
Q

Name two methods of transcriptomics for identifying mRNA targets

A
  1. mRNA microarrays

2. next generation sequencing

3
Q

What is the function of CLIP sequencing?

A
  • Explores specificity and range of miRNA action in vivo

- CLIP identifies mRNA target sites for individual RNA binding proteins and miRNA
