Synthetic small duplex RNAs that are complementary to gene promoters can activate or inhibit target gene expression. The potency and robustness of gene modulation by these RNAs suggests that natural mechanisms may exist to facilitate recognition of sequences within gene promoters by endogenous small RNAs. Here, we describe computational methods for identifying potential miRNA target sites within gene...
