Mouse MicroRNA Agomir/Antagomir

NOMENCLATURE

• 1. The miRNA mature body is abbreviated as miR, and then according to its species name, such as the human being abbreviated as hsa, and the order in which it was found is represented by Arabic numerals, such as hsa-miR-122.
• 2. Highly homologous miRNAs are followed by lowercase letters (a, b, c, …), such as hsa-miR-34a, hsa-miR-34b, hsa-miR-34c, and so on.
• 3. MiRNAs with the same mature sequence are transcribed and processed from DNA sequences on different chromosomes, followed by Arabic numerals to indicate the difference, such as hsa-miR-199a-1 and hsa-miR-199a-2.
• 4. Generally, a miRNA precursor is about 70-80nt in length. It is likely that miRNAs are generated by the two arms, and they are named by “-5p” and “-3p”. For example, hsa-miR-26b-5p and hsa-miR-26b-3p indicate that they are processed from the 5 ‘end arm and 3’ end arm of the hsa-mir-26b precursor, respectively.
