Abstract: microRNAs are very important to regulate and control the expression of eukaryotic gene, they have an significant impact on signaling pathways, apoptosis and metabolism, myogenesis, the brain, cancer and viral infection. There are more and more research to do in this field. Here we introduced the function of miroRNAs and new researches of the microRNAs being the key factor in virus and animals. We expected that this article could be helpful to research on microRNAs.

Key words: microRNAs; mechanism; function
