Abstract excerpt
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small regulatory RNAs that direct the posttranscriptional repression of cognate messenger RNAs. Despite increasing evidence for diverse roles of miRNAs in biological processes, little is known about miRNAs in pig. We describe the first experimental identification of porcine miRNAs by sequence analysis of a cDNA library of small RNAs from porcine fibroblast cells. We identified 25 distinct...
