Deletion of Dicer in Somatic Cells of the Female Reproductive Tract Causes Sterility
8 Aug 2008
Abstract excerpt
Dicer is an evolutionarily conserved ribonuclease III that is necessary for microRNA (miRNA) processing and the synthesis of small interfering RNAs from long double-stranded RNA. Although it has been shown that Dicer plays important roles in the mammalian germline and early embryogenesis, the functions of Dicer-dependent pathways in the somatic cells of the female reproductive tract are unknown.
