How can you use “mirna” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

Of the reference set miRNAs, only mir-2b-1 failed these filters (as a class 6 miRNA), even though it received the eighth highest score of all super-regions in the entire euchromatic sequence of the drosophilid genomes.
We found that a 100-unit segment of the alignment (where a unit is either a single paired or gapped nucleotide) containing no more than 13% gaps or 15% mismatches, was sufficient to identify all known miRNA genes within their respective genomic neighborhoods, with a minimum of additionally selected sequences.
We then defined a potential miRNA candidate sequence as being a perfectly conserved block of sequence greater than 22 nucleotides in length located less than 10 nucleotides from the end of the terminal loop, and eliminated those candidates that did not contain a potential miRNA (Figure 2a, class 4).
Comparisons with Anopheles demonstrate that dipteran miRNA genes evolve rapidly and although none of the reference set is absent from D. pseudoobscura , there may be examples that are specific to individual drosophilid species.
In general, it is thought that miRNA biogenesis proceeds via intermediate precursor transcripts of more than 70 nucleotides that have the capacity to form an extended stem-loop structure (pre-miRNA), although at least some pre-miRNAs are further derived from even longer transcripts (primary miRNA transcripts, or pri-miRNAs).
