摘要: microRNAs(miRNAs)是人类新发现的一类非编码小分子RNA,广泛分布于真核细胞内。miRNAs通过与靶基因互补位点配对结合,在转录后水平负性调控靶基因的表达,参与生长发育、细胞增殖、细胞凋亡、细胞分化等生命过程。据推测,大约1%的人类已知基因编码miRNAs,而miRNAs可调控人类基因组中10%~30%的基因。本文就如何识别miRNAs及其靶基因作一简要介绍。

Abstract: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a recently discovered family of small non-coding RNAs, which exist in eukaryotes and regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally by binding to complementary sites on target mRNAs. MiRNAs play important roles in regulation of cell proliferation, development, apoptosis and cell differentiation. It's predicted that about 1% human known genes encode microRNAs and microRNAs may regulate 10~30%of the genes within the human genome. Here we focus on the knowledge about how to recognize miRNAs and identify their target mRNAs.
