The text in this section is taken from the free, online
encyclopedia, Wikipedia. Anyone can edit a Wikipedia page. We hope
that experts on particular microRNA sequences will use the links to
Wikipedia below to edit the annotation of individual microRNAs, to add
information about function, evolution, discovery, and literature
references, for example. Any changes that you make will be visible in
Wikipedia immediately, and in miRBase within 24 hours.
Editing Wikipedia entries is straightforward. If you haven't
edited a page before, you might like to take a look at the following
Wikipedia help pages:
You can also create new pages at Wikipedia about microRNA families
that do not currently have specific entries there. Please let us know
if you do, so we can incorporate your annotation into miRBase, and
create the appropriate links from miRBase entries to the relevant
Wikipedia pages.

mir-395 is a non-coding RNA called a microRNA that was identified in both Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryza sativa computationally and was later experimentally verified. mir-395 is thought to target mRNAs coding for ATP sulphurylases. The mature sequence is excised from the 3' arm of the hairpin.
miR-395 is upregulated in Arabidopsis during sulphate-limited conditions, when the mature miRNA then regulates sulphur transporters and ATP sulphurylases.
