MicroRNA Synthesis
A process that begins with the synthesis of a pri-miRNA from a DNA template by RNA Polymerase II, which is then enzymatically processed to produce a pre-miRNA intermediate by the microprocessor complex, and ends with the release of the mature miRNA from the pre-miRNA catalyzed by the enzyme Dicer.
