    Dicer generates microRNAs

    2556

    The enzyme Dicer generates microRNAs by chopping larger RNA molecules into tiny Velcro®-like pieces. MicroRNAs stick to mRNA molecules and prevent the mRNAs from being made into proteins. See image 2557 for a labeled version of this illustration. Featured in The New Genetics.
