Abstract:
micro RNA (miRNA) is the fragment of non-coding small RNAs and consists of 21-25 ribonucleotide.It can regulated gene expression by either binding to or regulating the translation process of some specific mRNA. This paper summarized the characteristics of miRNA, as well as its production, mechanism of action and functions.
