**Semantic type:** Nucleic Acid, Nucleoside, or Nucleotide

**Definition:** The pri-miRNA is a primary transcript derived from a gene whose sole products are miRNA(s). A unique pathway involving the nuclear microprocessor complex participates in the cleavage of such transcripts, which can be substantially longer than the 65-110 nt pre-miRNA.

**Synonyms:** - Pri-MIR - Pri-MIR - Pri-micro-RNA - Pri-microRNA - Pri-microRNA - Primary MicroRNA - pri-miRNA - pri-miRNA
