Chip Talks: Micro RNA

MicroRNA are intermediate signalling and functional molecules which get built inside of a cell. MicroRNA can "jump" normal DNA processes and make epigenetic changes on the fly. MicroRNA are associated with disease and with bacterial infections and could be a way for pathogens to alter and hijack metabolism.

Here is a supportive data:
"MicroRNAs are small, highly conserved non-coding RNA molecules involved in the regulation of gene expression. MicroRNAs are transcribed by RNA polymerases II and III, generating precursors that undergo a series of cleavage events to form mature microRNA."
