Manipulation of Estrogen Synthesis Alters MIR202* Expression in Embryonic Chicken Gonads1
11 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
Tissue-specific patterns of microRNA (miRNA) expression contribute to organogenesis during embryonic development. Using the embryonic chicken gonads as a model for vertebrate gonadogenesis, we previously reported that miRNAs are expressed in a sexually dimorphic manner during gonadal sex differentiation. Being male biased, we hypothesised that up-regulation of microRNA 202* (MIR202*) is characteristic of...
