General Information

Term

miRNA transcription

ID (Ontology)

GO:0061614 (Gene Ontology)

Definition

The cellular synthesis of microRNA (miRNA) transcripts. MicroRNA genes are synthesized as primary (pri) miRNA transcripts and subsequently processed to produce the ~22nt miRNAs that function in gene regulation.[ PubMed:18778799 ]

Also Known As

"microRNA gene transcription" ; "miRNA gene transcription" ; "pri-miRNA transcription by RNA polymerase II" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
