MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a growing class of small, noncoding RNAs (17-27 nucleotides) that regulate gene expression by targeting mRNAs for translational repression, degradation, or both. These molecules are emerging as important modulators in cellular pathways such as growth and proliferation, apoptosis, and developmental timing.
To date, thousands of microRNAs have been identified in organisms from viruses to primates through cloning and sequencing, or computational prediction based on strong conservation of miRNA sequence motifs. microRNA data are managed and annotated in the miRBase Sequence Database by the University of Manchester as a publicly accessible repository.
To advance research on the function and mechanisms of these molecules, we offer Thermo Scientific miRIDIAN microRNA research products.
