Pierce et al. (2020) verified the biological plausibility of the predicted miRNA-target RNA interactions, in which miRNA361 binds to the SARS-CoV-2 IFN-α 3′-UTR. Li et al. (2020) showed that hsa-miR-361-3P is one of the top upregulated or downregulated genes in COVID-19 patients compared to the healthy controls. Here, IFNA1 is linked to COVID-19.
