miRNA: Introduction, Profiling Methods, and Applications

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs of approximately 20-24 nucleotides in length. By base-pairing to the targeted mRNA, miRNA promotes mRNA degradation or represses its translation and participates in the post-transcriptional regulation, thereby inhibiting targeted gene expression. https://rna.cd-genomics.com/mirna-sequencing.html
