## Abstract microRNAs (miRNAs) are small (βΌ22 nt) noncoding RNAs that have been shown to regulate gene expression postβtranscriptionally. They function by pairing with the 3β² UTR of target mRNAs and repressing translation or by targeting the mRNA for degradation. miRNAs are involved in diverse aspe
