Microrna, or mirna, is a small strand of rna that controls gene expression Gene expression here refers to how much of the corresponding protein is made from a gene. Here, we summarize the current understanding of mirna biogenesis, function and regulation, and outline challenges to address in the future. Molecules of microrna are found in cells and in the bloodstream Microrna is abbreviated “mirna,” but here we will use “microrna” throughout.) gene expression refers to whether a particular gene is making too much, too little or the normal amount of its protein at a particular time. Dive into the world of microrna (mirna)
Although the first mirna was identified over ten years ago, it is only recently that researchers have begun to understand the scope and diversity of these regulatory molecules.
