However, little is currently known how the miRNA gene expression itself is regulated owing to lack of basic information of their gene structure. Global prediction of promoter regions of miRNA genes would allow us to explore the mechanisms underlying gene-regulatory mechanisms involving these miRNAs.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: We speculate that if specific miRNA molecules are involved in evolutionarily conserved regulatory systems in vertebrates, this would entail a high level of conservation of the promoter of miRNA gene as well as the miRNA molecule. By our current screening of putative promoter regions of miRNA genes (miPPRs) on this base, we identified 59 miPPRs that would direct production of 79 miRNAs. We present both biochemical and bioinformatical verifications of these putative promoters.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Contact: \u00a0iba@ims.u-tokyo.ac.jp<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Supplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btm589","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,12,1]],"date-time":"2007-12-01T01:14:17Z","timestamp":1196471657000},"page":"303-308","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":72,"title":["Putative promoter regions of <i>miRNA<\/i> genes involved in evolutionarily conserved regulatory systems among vertebrates"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Shuji","family":"Fujita","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Host-Parasite Interaction, Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Institute of Medical Science, University of Tokyo, 4-6-1 Shirokanedai, Minato-ku Tokyo, 108-8639, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hideo","family":"Iba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Host-Parasite Interaction, Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Institute of Medical Science, University of Tokyo, 4-6-1 Shirokanedai, Minato-ku Tokyo, 108-8639, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,11,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023061011435579500_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"708","DOI":"10.1101\/gr.1933104","article-title":"Aligning multiple genomic sequences with the threaded blockset aligner","volume":"14","author":"Blanchette","year":"2004","journal-title":"Genome Res"},{"key":"2023061011435579500_B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"739","DOI":"10.1101\/gr.6902","article-title":"Discovery of regulatory elements by a computational method for phylogenetic footprinting","volume":"12","author":"Blanchette","year":"2002","journal-title":"Genome Res"},{"key":"2023061011435579500_B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1957","DOI":"10.1261\/rna.7135204","article-title":"Human microRNAs are processed from capped, polyadenylated transcripts that can also function as mRNAs","volume":"10","author":"Cai","year":"2004","journal-title":"RNA"},{"key":"2023061011435579500_B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"861","DOI":"10.1016\/j.molcel.2004.12.002","article-title":"Transcription and processing of human microRNA precursors","volume":"16","author":"Cullen","year":"2004","journal-title":"Mol.
