Overview of the miRNAs biogenesis. In the canonical pathway in the nucleus, pri-miRNAs are cleaved into pre-miRNAs by Drosha. Pre-miRNAs are exported to the cytoplasm by exportin 5. In the cytoplasm, pre-miRNAs are cleaved into small dsRNAs by Dicer. Then, RISC mediates the recognition of the mRNA to be targeted. In the non-canonical pathway (Mirtron), Drosha cleavage is substituted with splicing. pri-miRNAs (pre-mRNAs) are processed to pre-miRNAs by the spliceosome machinery and debranching enzyme to generate double-stranded loop structures like the regular miRNAs. Subsequently, the RNA product of splicing adopts a pre-miRNA like form, and transferred to the cytoplasm by exportin 5 to continue with the canonical pathway. For more details please refer to the text.

English: Overview of microRNA processing in animals, from transcription to the formation of the effector complex. There are two pathways, one for microRNAs from independent genes and one for intronic microRNAs.
This biology image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.
It is recommended to name the SVG file “MiRNA-biogenesis.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
This biology image was uploaded in the JPEG format even though it consists of non-photographic data. This information could be stored more efficiently or accurately in the PNG or SVG format. If possible, please upload a PNG or SVG version of this image without compression artifacts, derived from a non-JPEG source (or with existing artifacts removed). After doing so, please tag the JPEG version with {{Superseded|NewImage.ext}} and remove this tag. This tag should not be applied to photographs or scans. If this image is a diagram or other image suitable for vectorisation, please tag this image with {{Convert to SVG}} instead of {{BadJPEG}}. If not suitable for vectorisation, use {{Convert to PNG}}.
