Summary Introduction
To review:
The regulation of gene expression by micro ribonucleic acids (miRNAs) and short interfering ribonucleic acids (siRNAs).
Introduction:
RNA plays an important role in the alteration of gene expression. Some small RNA molecules act as a strong regulator of gene expression. Two small RNAs that help in gene regulation include siRNAs and miRNAs.
