In animals, microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis begins with cotranscriptional cleavage of the primary (pri-)miRNA by the Microprocessor complex. Cotranscriptional splicing has been shown to influence Microprocessor cleavage when miRNAs are hosted in introns of protein-coding pri-miRNAs, but the impact of splicing on production of miRNAs hosted in long non-coding (lnc)RNAs is largely unknown. Here, we investigated the role of splicing in the biogenesis of miR-122, an lncRNA-hosted, highly expressed, medically important, liver-specific miRNA.
