The primary transcript is cleaved by the Drosha ribonuclease III enzyme to produce an approximately 70-nt stem-loop precursor miRNA (pre-miRNA), which is further cleaved by the cytoplasmic Dicer ribonuclease to generate the mature miRNA and antisense miRNA star (miRNA*) products. First, a miRNA-specific stem-loop RT primer is hybridized to the miRNA and then reverse transcribed. The miRNA gene is first transcribed by RNA polymerase II into primary transcript (pri-miRNA) in the nucleus, where the hairpin stem-loop structure is processed into precursor miRNA (pre-miRNA) by a microprocessing complex, including Drosha and DGCR8. Detailed sequence information for each step was described in Fig. The standard deviation of the CTs averaged 0.1, demonstrating the high precision of the assays. We recently reported that hairpin (or stem-loop) priming is better-suited than polyA tailing to generate cDNA for plant microRNA qPCR.
