Qi’s paper Integrative omics analysis reveals the importance and scope of translational repression in microRNA-mediated regulation has been published in Molecular & Cellular Proteomics. Through integrative analysis of miRNA, mRNA and protein expression data in nine colon cancer cell lines, we found that translational repression was involved in 58% and played a major role in 30% of all predicted miRNA-targeted interactions. Moreover, sequence features known to drive site efficacy in mRNA decay were generally not applicable to translational repression. Congratulations, Qi!
