MicroRNA Expression Plasmids

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are naturally occurring non-coding RNAs of 21-23 nt and they have been implicated in many biological processes and disease development. MiRNA are processed in multiple steps:

DNA→ Pri-miRNA → Pre-miRNA→ Mature miRNA

OriGene provides clones for over-expression of miRNA of your choice. A region of ~600bp region encompassing each miRNA is cloned downstream of a CMV promoter. Upon transfection, the cellular machinery will process the CMV-driven expression of miRNA precursor into mature miRNA and cellular function can be analyzed.

  • Genome wide miRNA coverage (miRBase release 20.0)
    - 1829 human, 1164 mouse and 436 rat
  • GFP as reporter for transfection monitoring
  • Neomycin selection marker for stable cell establishment
  • 10 μg transfection-ready DNA using PowerPrep® HP Kits
  • 3'-UTR reporter clones available for miRNA target validation
  • Cloning Vector: pCMV-MIR
