A microRNA (abbreviated miRNA) is a small non-coding RNA molecule (containing about 22 nucleotides) found in plants, animals, and some viruses, which functions in RNA silencing and post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Encoded by eukaryotic nuclear DNA in plants and animals and by viral DNA in certain viruses whose genome is based on...

A type of RNA found in cells and in blood. MicroRNAs are smaller than many other types of RNA and can bind to messenger RNAs (mRNAs) to block them from making proteins. MicroRNAs are being studied in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Also called miRNA.

(miRNA) (mi″kro-ahr´en-a) any of a number of very small RNA molecules that act as negative regulators of gene expression by binding to specific segments of messenger RNA, thus interfering with translation. MicroRNAs are important in the regulation of a number of cellular processes; and abnormaliti...

A short piece of single-stranded RNA about 21 to 23 bases in length that regulates the expression of genes. MicroRNAs function by binding to a matching piece of messenger RNA that encodes a protein and decreasing the production of that protein.
