Discovery of microRNA
• The first described microRNA, lin-4, was cloned and characterised as a translational repressor of developmental timing from C. elegans by Lee et al (1993) and Wightman et al (1993).
• The transcript of this gene was highly unusual as it was non-coding, and produced extremely small transcripts (22nt) from hairpin structured RNA precursors.
• Second microRNA, let-7, was also cloned from C. elegans (Reinhart et al, 2000).

microRNA statistics
• Many are highly conserved
MIRHG2 microRNA host gene 2 (non-protein coding)
DLEU2 deleted in lymphocytic leukemia 2 (non-protein coding)
HOXD4 homeobox D4
• Probably >1000 miRNAs in mammalian genomesIdentified presently (March 2009)- 706 human miRNAs- 547 mouse miRNAs- 286 rat miRNAs
• May modulate the expression of at least 30% of all protein coding genes in a genome
• ~60% of miRNAs are expressed independently~15% are encoded in clusters~25% are found in introns
