Study nearly triples the locations in the human genome that harbor microRNAs

According to the public databases, there are currently approximately 1,900 locations in the human genome that produce microRNAs , the small and powerful non-coding molecules that regulate numerous cellular processes by reducing the abundance of their targets. New research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences this week adds another roughly 3,400 such locations to that list.
