Abstract:

MicroRNA (miRNA) is a class of small RNA with powerful function, a larger number of studies indicate that miRNA play an important role in the life activities of various species. In this summary, we firstly described the discovery, biogenesis and function of miRNA, and reviewed the developmental history of sequencing technology and the emergence of next-generation sequencing technology. Following, we summarized the application of miRNA microarray and deep sequencing technology in the porcine miRNA researches, and proposed the miRNA research emphasis in the future.
