This book is a compendium of experimental methods, in silico and the traditional kind, of analyzing the miRNAs. There are many chapters on miRNAs on intra-cellular functions, in developmental events and in disease. A newcomer would do well to have this volume handy for purposes of reference and for its educational value per se. There are not many books on miRNAs that have such an extensive and complete view of the field as it now exists.
