Generation of microRNA Sponge Library

Author: Sebastian Herzog, date: 04/20/2018, view: 234, Q&A: 0

This protocol describes the generation and functional validation of microRNA (miRNA) sponge or decoy constructs. When expressed from a strong promoter, these transcripts can sequester specific miRNA:RISC complexes, thereby resulting in a ...
