Evidence That Regulation of Pri-miRNA/miRNA Expression Is Not a General Rule of miPEPs Function in Humans
Some miRNAs are located in RNA precursors (pri-miRNAs) annotated as long non-coding (lncRNAs) due to absence of long open reading frames (ORFs). However, recent studies have shown that some lnc pri-miRNAs encode peptides called miPEPs (miRNA-encoded peptides). Initially discovered in plants, three m...
