A new interface to study RNA biology‎

Scientists at Université de Montréal's Institute for Research in Immunology and Cancer have developed a new database that integrates the molecular structure of microRNAs and messenger RNAs to systematically model their interactions. Called RIMap-RISC and developed by Ph.D. student Simon Chasles in the laboratory of UdeM professor François Major, director of IRIC's RNA engineering research unit, the database is detailed in a study published in Genome Biology.
