miRNA and mammalian male germ cells

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND Achieving the correct spatial and temporal expression of germ-cell-specific genes is fundamental to the production of viable healthy spermatozoa. Notably, post-transcriptional gene regulation resulting in the repression of protein translation is central to many embryonic processes, and is particularly active during spermatogenesis. In this review, we discuss microRNA (miRNA) regulation of target gene...
