Abstract Background Cellular miRNAs play an important role in the regulation of gene expression in eukaryotes. Recently miRNAs have also been shown to be able to target and inhibit viral gene expression. Computational predictions revealed earlier that the HIV-1 genome includes regions that may be potentially targeted by human miRNAs. Here we report the functionality of predicted miR-29a target site
