Synthesis of microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), as well as mechanisms of action. miRNA biogenesis consists of a series of steps where a premature miRNA is cleaved until it reaches the mature form outside the nucleus. Both miRNAs and lncRNAs can interfere with gene regulation through different mechanisms. lncRNAs also interfere in the function of other miRNAs.
