Figure 1. Epitranscriptomic modifications in miRNAs. Schematic representation of miRNA biogenesis in mammals and plants. HEN-1 is a methyltransferase that adds a methyl group to the ribose of the last nucleotide (represented as R) of small RNAs (sRNAs). This methylation protects the 3ʹ-end of sRNAs from uridylation activity and subsequent degradation. Not all miRNA biogenesis mechanisms are depicted. Frequently reported miRNA modifications, along with representative examples, are shown on the right bottom corner
