Characteristics and mechanisms of some well defined oncomirs

I think we need to come up with some criteria for which oncomirs are important enough to put into this page. This is an encyclopedia, not an exhaustive medical text. Once we come up with some criteria, we can lace that into copy for this section header. ~Egelerp

I view this section as a brief description of some of the oncomirs we've been able to find to give the reader a quick inrto into the field. I think we should keep these entries to a few lines, but essentially add as many as we can. ~awzuhl

If we begin to find more than just a handful of oncomirs, this section will fill up much too fast. I think we should have a table to give a BRIEF description of ANY identified oncomir, but keep full prose for only the most pivotal research. ~Egelerp

At this point, I really don't think there is enough information compiled to worry about filling sections up too fast. If there is a specific theme in the literature, such as the OncomiR-1 group, then i think that should be explained in greater depth. Otherwise, a few sentences describing some of the characterized oncomirs i think is fine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Awzuhl (talk • contribs) 05:26, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

List of identified oncomirs

This is just a list of the precursor families. Looks like there's some differentiation within the families which we could identify. We can make it so there is a bold heading, then a definition like this:

miR-19: miR19a, miR-19b

Do you think we should go that way or just show the precursor family? If we just keep the precursor family, I think we should specify that that's all we're identifying. ~Egelerp

Please consider the relevance of this list: This list may be big enough to separate into a standalone page... or maybe too big entirely The two current external links are a resource to find known oncomirs, therefore this list may be superfluous. ~Egelerp

I think a simple list will be fine. If in the future there are enough to warrant subsections then we might consider categorizing them,but for now it should serve to just acknowledge the existence of the various oncomirs. ~alex
