摘要: MicroRNAs, small non-coding RNAs which act as repressors of target genes, were discovered in 1993, and since then have been shown to play important roles the development numerous systems. Consistent with this role, they are also implicated pathogenesis multiple diseases. Here we review involvement microRNAs mouse disease, particular reference deafness an example.
