miRNA and mRNA Integration Analysis

SPEAK TO A SCIENTIST

Introduction

MicroRNA (miRNA) is an endogenous, single-stranded, non-coding regulatory small molecule that acts by inhibiting gene expression in organisms. Each miRNA can have multiple target genes, and at the same time, a gene may also be regulated by multiple miRNAs. Therefore, this complex regulatory network can not only regulate the expression of multiple genes through one miRNA, but also fine-tune the expression of a certain gene through the combination of several miRNAs.

Through miRNA and mRNA integration analysis, the interaction or regulation mechanism can be analyzed more accurately. First, miRNA sequencing can be used to identify miRNA and obtain the relationship between miRNA and the target gene. It can then be used to analyze the differential expression of miRNA and mRNA, identify key miRNAs and genes, and use the miRNA-target gene network regulation diagram to directly show that miRNA regulates multiple target genes and the same target gene is regulated by multiple miRNAs. Through the integration and analysis of these two data, the regulatory mechanism in the process of gene expression can be explored.
