Anybody got a link for a good explanation of this for someone whose knowledge of micro bio is 12 years out of date?

I think it's referencing regulatory pathways. [m]essenger RNA is regulated by [mi]cro RNA which is regulated by [circ]ular RNA which is indirectly(?) regulated by [s]mall [n]uclear RNA.
Here's a site that has helped me in the past, but I don't know if it's accurate or not, because I barely (not really) know what the heck I'm talking about.
Also some wiki links:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messenger_RNA
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicroRNA
Thanks! The first link was a useful summary, and I’ll look at the others when I have more time!
It goes even deeper, mRNA controls ribosomes, which are mostly RNA.
Which movie is this from?
TV series called Person of Interest. Very good series that doesn't overstay its welcome.
Thank you!
