Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a kind of biotechnology. Background technique
[0002] miRNAs are a class of non-coding single-stranded RNA molecules with a length of 21-25 nt, which widely exist in plants and cells from nematodes to humans. MicroRNA (microRNA, miRNA) is a molecule that exists widely and fine-tunes gene expression. The miRNA gene accounts for about 1% of the human genome. It is a class of molecules that are highly conserved in evolution and play an important regulatory role in life. . Most of the target genes of miRNA are genes involved in transcription, signal transduction, and tumorigenesis. Although the role of miRNA is also specific, especially the 2-8 bases at the 5′ end, which specifically target its target gene, but Different from siRNA (smallinference RNA), the specificity of miRNA is not so strong. In organisms, one miRNA often acts on multiple target genes or multiple miRNAs regulate one target gene.
