MicroRNA 1 article

In this taxonomy, microRNA denotes a small regulatory RNA class organized around small noncoding RNA and its associated workflow. Researchers encounter it through post-transcriptional gene regulation and Argonaute-containing RISC complex, with microRNA seed region shaping the resulting effect or readout and target mRNA repression providing another application context. MicroRNA is a biological regulator rather than a synthetic siRNA drug, although both engage related RNA-silencing machinery.
