Presentation Transcript


  1. Identification of microRNA function by target prediction and expression profiling Youngae Lee

  2. MicroRNA (miRNA) • A new family of small noncoding RNA (~22 nt) • ~250 miRNA in animal • Inhibition of translational (animal) or Degradation of target RNA (plants) • Regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, carcinogenesis and viral infection • Unknown function of newly identified animal miRNA

  3. The model for biogenesis and post-transcriptional suppression of miRNA and siRNA

  4. Purpose • Computational target gene prediction • Identification of microRNA function • Expression profiling

  5. Methods • 3’-UTR sequence retrieval; ENSEMBL website http:// www. ensembl.org • The mature miRNA sequence http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Software/Rfam/mirna/ •Identify the targets of miRNAs http://genes.mit.edu/targetscan • Gene Ontology (GO) annotations http:// geneontology.org/

  6. Results 1. miRNA target prediction algorithm 2. mRNA profiling and function
