Questions/concerns about miRNA:
- "Overall hairpin length and loop size influence the efficiency of Dicer processing"–how should we design the loop?
- The specificity of base pair matching in the stem influences processing efficiency
- Which of the two strands from the stem is incorporated into the RNA-induced silencing complex?
Pay attention to cross talk. look for foreign miRNA
