MicroRNAs: The Mega Regulators in Eukaryotic Genomes
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous, small, noncoding RNAs of 18-25 nucleotide (nt) in length that negatively regulate their complementary messenger RNAs (mRNAs) at the transcriptional and posttranscriptional level in many eukaryotic organisms. By affecting the gene regulation, miRNAs are likely to be...
