Abstract: Recent work has demonstrated that miRNAs are involved in critical biological processes by suppressing the translation of coding genes.This regulation
occurs at a posttranscriptional,presumably translational level and is distinct from RNA interference.Researches suggested that they are conserved in size,structure and function.The characteristic,identify,mechanism and function of miRNA are mainly reviewed.

Key words: miRNA; small RNA; expression regulation
