The role of miRNAs in inducing or suppressing reprogramming is addressed by highlighting them as regulators of pluripotency. In-silico analysis sheds light on unexplored biological processes, pathways and helps in identifying roadblocks to complete reprogramming. The biological significance of miR-302-367 cluster revealed metabolic processes as the highest rated biological processes. A recent approach of direct conversion or transdifferentiation of differentiated cells into neurons by miRNAs is also elaborated.
