Project description
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a recently discovered class of biomolecules. Their involvement in the development of neuroblastoma, a childhood cancer of the sympathetic nervous system, is already well established. In this project we will try to elucidate the function of each individual miRNA in the genome using an innovative approach.
