Iseng-iseng siang ini…… Aku search kata “Mirna” di Google.co.id
Voila….. Websiteku ini tampil di halaman pertama, kedua dari bawah. Senangnya…..
Kalau search “Mirna” di Google.com, ternyata yang paling banyak keluar adalah miRNA. Pencarian paling atas adalah definisi miRNA di Wikipedia. Ini dia katanya:
In genetics, microRNAs (miRNA) are single-stranded RNA molecules of about 21–23 nucleotides in length, which regulate gene expression. miRNAs are encoded by genes that are transcribed from DNA but not translated into protein (non-coding RNA); instead they are processed from primary transcripts known as pri-miRNA to short stem-loop structures called pre-miRNA and finally to functional miRNA. Mature miRNA molecules are partially complementary to one or more messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules, and their main function is to downregulate gene expression. They were first described in 1993 by Lee and colleagues in the Victor Ambros lab [1], yet the term microRNA was only introduced in 2001 in a set of three articles in Science (26 October 2001)
