  1. Negative Gene Sensor Systems for microRNA Detection using Cherry Petar V. Todorov Van Vactor Laboratory Carlos Loya

  2. What is microRNA? • Non-protein coding ribonucleic acid • Single-stranded • ~21 nucleotides • Important regulator of gene expression • Acts by binding mRNA • In Drosophila ~156 miRs and ~600+ in humans • Shown to be involved in: • Development • Differentiation • Proliferation • Cell death • Metabolic control • Transposon silencing • Antiviral defense http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Microrna_secondary_structure.png V.
