MicroRNA (miRNA) 是可以调节基因表达的非编码 RNA。数百个编码 miRNA 的基因已在动物体内通过实验鉴定出来,并且通过计算方法预测了更多基因。如何发现新的 miRNA 并将其与其他类型的小 RNA 区分开来?在这里,我们总结了当前识别和验证 miRNA 的方法,并讨论了用于定义 miRNA 的标准。
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are noncoding RNAs that can regulate gene expression. Several hundred genes encoding miRNAs have been experimentally identified in animals, and many more are predicted by computational methods. How can new miRNAs be discovered and distinguished from other types of small RNA? Here we summarize current methods for identifying and validating miRNAs and discuss criteria used to define an miRNA.
