Micro RNA and their role in Gene Regulation

by

What is MicroRNA? MicroRNA (miRNA) is a class of small, non-coding RNA molecules found in  animals, plants and viruses. They play an important role in regulating gene expression, making them pivotal for numerous biological processes. Typically 21-25 nucleotides long, miRNAs bind to messenger RNA (mRNA) and inhibit its translation into proteins, thus influencing cellular function. … Read more
