Alternative processing of primary microRNA transcripts by Drosha generates 5' end variation of mature microRNA.
It is generally believed that the miRNA processing machinery ensures the generation of a mature miRNA with a fixed sequence, particularly at its 5' end. However, we and others have recently noted that the ends of a given mature miRNA are not absolutely fixed, but subject to variation. Neither t...
