Antisense transcripts exist for pri-miR-214 and pri-miR-122, with A-to-I/(G) RNA editing at specific nucleotide residues.

Abstract

<p>Schematic illustration of the gene structures for the RNA transcripts complementary to (<b>A</b>) pri-miR-214 and (<b>B</b>) pri-miR-122. (<b>C</b>) The representative results for sequencing of the strand-specific RT–PCR products from HCC with putative editing events in the sense (<b>S</b>) and antisense (<b>AS</b>) transcripts of pri-miR-214 and pri-miR-122, focusing on the regions covering the sites with potential editing events with the editing marked with red asterisks.</p
