MicroRNA-196a regulates bovine newborn ovary homeobox gene (NOBOX) expression during early embryogenesis
6 May 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Oocyte-derived maternal RNAs drive early embryogenesis when the newly formed embryo is transcriptionally inactive. Recent studies in zebrafish have identified the role of microRNAs during the maternal-to-embryonic transition (MET). MicroRNAs are short RNAs that bind to the 3' UTR of target mRNAs to repress their translation and accelerate their decay. Newborn ovary homeobox gene (NOBOX) is a...
