A Subset of Skin-Expressed microRNAs with Possible Roles in Goat and Sheep Hair Growth Based on Expression Profiling of Mammalian microRNAs

Abstract excerpt

The microRNAs (miRNAs) are an extensive class of small noncoding RNAs (18-25 nucleotides) with probable roles in the regulation of gene expression. Due to the fact that miRNAs are conserved in closely related eukaryotes and some are also conserved across a larger evolutionary distance, their potential functions in mammalian development are under active study. In order to identify mammalian miRNAs that might...
