MicroRNAs (miRNAs), endogenous noncoding regulatory mRNAs of around 22- nucleotides long, have rapidly emerged as one of the key governors of the gene expression regulatory program in cells of varying species. Accumulating evidence suggests that miRNAs constitute a novel, universal mechanism for fine regulation of gene expression in all organisms, “fine tuning” the cellular phenotype during delicate processes.
