Abstract excerpt
The Microprocessor complex of DROSHA and DGCR8 initiates the biosynthesis of microRNAs (miRNAs) by processing primary miRNAs (pri-miRNAs). The Microprocessor can be oriented on pri-miRNAs in opposite directions to generate productive and unproductive cleavages at their basal and apical junctions, respectively. However, only the productive cleavage gives rise to miRNAs. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP,...
