General Information
Term miRNA processing ID (Ontology) GO:0035196 (Gene Ontology)
Definition A process leading to the generation of a functional miRNA. Includes the cleavage of stem-loop RNA precursors into microRNAs (miRNAs). miRNAs are a class of small RNAs that primarily silence genes by blocking the translation of mRNA transcripts into protein, or by increasing the degradation of non-protein-coding RNA transcripts.[ PubMed:15066275 PubMed:15066283 PubMed:23985560 PubMed:28379604 ]
Also Known As "gene silencing by miRNA, production of miRNAs" ; "microRNA biogenesis" ; "microRNA processing" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
