miRNA-mediated relationships between Cis-SNP genotypes and transcript intensities in lymphocyte cell lines.

In metazoans, miRNAs regulate gene expression primarily through binding to target sites in the 3' UTRs (untranslated regions) of messenger RNAs (mRNAs). Cis-acting variants within, or close to, a gene are crucial in explaining the variability of gene expression measures. Single nucleotide polym...
