JF - Journal of Laboratory and Precision Medicine; Vol 2 (November 2017): Journal of Laboratory and Precision Medicine Y2 - 2017 KW - N2 - In 1993, Lee et al. (1) observed that lin-4 gene could control the embryonic development of C. elegans , but failed to encode a protein molecule. Besides, the gene transcribes a pair of microRNAs (miRNAs). The short RNA is approximately 22 nucleotides (nt) in length whereas the long one is 61 nt that was predicted to fold a stem loop with anti-sense complementary to 3'-untranslated region (UTR) of lin-14 messenger RNA (mRNA) (2).
