Predicted miRNA-mRNA-mediated posttranscriptional control associated with differences in cervical and thoracic thymus function.

•Thoracic and cervical thymus in mouse might be under a similar transcriptional control.•These organs feature differences in their transcriptional expression profiling involving mRNAs and miRNAs.•Among the differentially expressed mRNAs and miRNAs, we found those that establish posttranscriptional interactions.•The individual expression profile characterizing each organ might be a reflect of miRNA-mRNA interactions.
