Expression of miRNAs in ovine fetal gonads: potential role in gonadal differentiation
11 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Gonadal differentiation in the mammalian fetus involves a complex dose-dependent genetic network. Initiation and progression of fetal ovarian and testicular pathways are accompanied by dynamic expression patterns of thousands of genes. We postulate these expression patterns are regulated by small non-coding RNAs called microRNAs (miRNAs). The aim of this study was to identify the expression of miRNAs...
