All of these options could potentially be sources for siRNA or miRNA. 
- The Mir gene produces precursor miRNA molecules which are processed into mature miRNA. 
- Transposons have been found to produce siRNA which can silence transposon activity. 
- RNA viruses can produce both siRNA and miRNA as part of their replication strategy. 
- Transgenes can be designed to produce siRNA or miRNA molecules that target specific genes.
