Abstract

Pseudogenes may regulate expression of their parental genes as well as other protein-coding genes through various mechanisms. One such mechanism is the ability to act as competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) and participate in microRNA-mediated cross-regulation. Here, we outline how to predict the targets of pseudogene ceRNAs bioinformatically and how to validate them experimentally.
