microRNAs (miRNA) are small, noncoding RNAs that bind to messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and regulate their activity. They are, therefore, important posttranscriptional regulators. In recent years it has become clear that miRNAs regulate large genetic networks, rather than single genes, and ...

RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are central for gene expression by controlling the RNA fate from birth to decay. Various disorders arising from perturbations of RNA-protein interactions document their critical function. However, deciphering their function is complex, limiting the general functional elucidation ...

The study of protein-RNA interactions is critical for our understanding of cellular processes and regulatory circuits controlled by RNA binding proteins (RBPs). Recent next generation sequencing-based approaches significantly promoted our understanding of RNA biology and its importance for cell function. ...

One of the challenges to assess the impact of RBPs on posttranscriptional gene regulation is identifying and quantifying the RNA and protein components of ribonucleoprotein complexes (RNPs) in a cellular context. The human genome is estimated to contain 1542 RBPs. ...
