MicroRNAs are short RNAs of approximately 22 nucleotides in length. miRNAs post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression by silencing protein expression through cleavage and degradation of the mRNA transcript or inhibiting translation. A single miRNA can bind multiple mRNA targets (more than 100), while several miRNAs may regulate a single mRNA target
