MicroRNA (miRNA) is a kind of noncoding single stranded RNA molecules with about 22 nucleotides encoded by endogenous genes. They are involved in the regulation of posttranscriptional gene expression in animals and plants. So far, 28645 miRNAs have been found in animals, plants and viruses. Most miRNA genes exist in the genome in the form of single copy, multi copy or gene cluster. Real time PCR is an efficient tool for the analysis of miRNA expression levels. With real time PCR, researchers can know what miRNAs are expressed, where they are expressed, and the cellular processes they regulate.
