Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the fields of molecular biology and nucleic acid chemistry, and relates to a probe for simultaneously and sensitively detecting multiple microRNAs or short-segment RNAs. Background technique
[0002] Studies have found that MicroRNAs (microRNAs) widely exist in eukaryotic cells. They are short-chain endogenous non-coding RNAs with important regulatory functions, usually 20-25 nucleotides in length. microRNAs are derived from longer RNA precursors containing folded structures. After synthesis, Dicer enzymes can recognize and cut them, and then form RNA-induced silencing complexes (miRISC, RNA-induced silencing complex) or other biological processes. The components of miRISC are microRNAs and protein Argonaute (Ago). RISC usually recognizes the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of the target gene mRNA by base pairing. When it perfectly matches the target gene mRNA, it will degrade the target gene mRNA; When paired, it inhibits the...
