Welcome![edit]

Hello, Emma.parkins, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Zana's Peer Review[edit]

I like the headings that you have so far. Maybe you could also add a brief section for the history where you discuss when it was first discovered, etc.

One suggestion I have is for the lead section. I think the first sentence should start by defining the topic instead of beginning with a definition of microRNAs. You could use what you have written in your second sentence like: "miR-324-5p is a microRNA that functions in cell growth, apoptosis, cancer [1], epilepsy ([2], [3], neuronal differentiation [4], psychiatric conditions [5], cardiac disease pathology [6] [7], and more [8]" You could also link the word microRNA to its page so you don't need to give an explanation of that as well.

Great start so far!

Response:

Thanks Zana! I'm adding a history section and editing the intro as you suggested. This is difficult to find information about!
