From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

mir-34 microRNA precursor family
Template:Abbreviation
Type: Gene; miRNA;
2° structure: Predicted; PFOLD
Seed alignment: INFERNAL; Griffiths-Jones S
Avg length: 87.2 nucleotides
Avg identity: 70%

The human mir-34a microRNA was discovered computationally[1] and later verified experimentally.[2] The mature sequence is excised from the 5' arm of the hairpin.
