How does DNA determine an organism’s characteristics? A process called translation decodes RNA created during transcription, and uses it to create proteins that perform specific cellular functions.

miRNAs are conserved 21−22-nucleotide (nt) noncoding RNAs that downregulate gene expression post-transcriptionally (reviewed in ref. 1). In the nucleus, Drosha processes long primary miRNA (pri-miRNA) ...
