Abstract

Molecules able to interfere in miRNA genesis and function are potent tools to unravel maturation and processing pathways. Antisense oligonucleotides or analogs are actually employed for the inhibition of miRNA function. Here we illustrate how Peptide Nucleic Acids oligomers targeting pre-miRNA are exploited to inhibit miRNA maturation.
