Effects of polymorphisms in the porcine microRNA miR-1 locus on muscle fiber type composition and miR-1 expression.

Abstract excerpt

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a group of evolutionarily conserved small noncoding RNAs with regulatory functions. Increasing evidence suggests that polymorphisms in miRNA genes are associated with phenotypic variation by affecting miRNA expression and/or function. Here, we identified two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the porcine miR-1 locus, both of which were linked and located downstream from the stem-loop...
