Part of miRNA biogenesis route in plants. The main difference from animal biogenesis is that in plants, the two cleavages are performed by the same enzyme (DCL1) inside the nucleus instead of two different enzymes (Drosha, Dicer), one inside and one outside the nucleus. The two hanging nucleotides in each side of the duplex can be seen. After this process, the duplex exits the nucleus and separates
