NEW DATE
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs with critical functions in gene regulation. They function by binding to target mRNAs leading transcript degradation. My group uses computational approaches to analyse a variety of next-generation sequencing datatypes in order to identify novel miRNA sequences and miRNA-mRNA interactions. I will talk about a new user-friendly tool for miRNA prediction and introduce novel methods for target identification and visualisation of miRNA-target interaction networks.
