Investigation into the subcellular localisation and function of miR-122

MicroRNAs are key post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression and function either by translational repression or degradation of target mRNAs. To do so, microRNAs must form an RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) and direct its binding to the 3’ UTR of their target mRNAs. Whilst the understand...
