miR2
miR2 is a microRNA that has been identified in various plant species and plays important roles in gene regulation. MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNA molecules that typically function in RNA silencing and post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. miR2 belongs to a family of conserved microRNAs found across different plant lineages.
The primary function of miR2 involves regulating target messenger RNAs through sequence-specific binding. This binding typically
In terms of structure, miR2 is processed from longer primary transcripts through the canonical microRNA biogenesis
Expression studies have demonstrated that miR2 levels can vary significantly depending on tissue type, developmental stage,
Research on miR2 has primarily focused on model plant species including Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryza sativa
