摘要: MicroRNAs (abbreviated: miRNAs) represent a class of small non-coding RNAs, initially discovered in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. In 1993, labs Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun cooperatively characterized structure function lin-4, founding member today’s rapidly growing molecule termed microRNAs. However, it was not until year 2000 that Reinhart colleagues detected second miRNA species – let-7. Given sequence let-7 actually conserved large variety Metazoens from Drosophila to humans (in contrast lin-4 which is specific Caenorhabditis), this fueled further research eventually revealed miRNAs are involved posttranscriptional gene regulation virtually all multicellular organisms.
