Annotations
| skos:definition | small, ~22-nt, RNA molecule, termed microRNA, produced from precursor molecules that can form local hairpin structures, which ordinarily are processed (via the Dicer pathway) such that a single miRNA molecule accumulates from one arm of a hairpin precursor molecule. MicroRNAs may trigger the cleavage of their target molecules or act as translational repressors. |
