DESCRIPTION:The discovery that small RNAs commonly regulate the expression
  of many genes is one of the most startling recent advances in biological 
 sciences.  MicroRNAs are now thought to influence the expression of about 
 half of all mammalian genes.  Changes in the activities of microRNAs corre
 late with diseases such as cancer.  Understanding the specific functions o
 f small RNAs requires defining the transcriptome of the cell in both norma
 l and disease states.
