Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small noncoding RNAs (typically 20 to 22 nucleotides long) that posttranscriptionally regulate the expression of target mRNAs exhibiting partially complementary binding sites (1). miRNAs are found in a wide range of organisms, including animals, plants, and viruses. According to the latest release of miRBase (http://www.mirbase.org/; release 22 March 2018), a total of 48,885 mature miRNAs are currently annotated in 271 species; 2,694 mature miRNAs are annotated in the human genome.
