Schematic diagram to depict differences between mirtron and canonical miRNA generation. Introns that assume foldback structures are recognized and cleaved by DROSHA. These stem-loop lariats are then acted upon by Lariat debranching enzyme that cleaves the phosphor-diester bond formed during splicing event. The pri- miR thus formed joins the mainstream miRNA flux, before making exit to cytoplasm.
