Discovery of cashmere goat (Capra hircus) microRNAs in skin and hair follicles by Solexa sequencing
28 Jul 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a large family of endogenous, non-coding RNAs, about 22 nucleotides long, which regulate gene expression through sequence-specific base pairing with target mRNAs. Extensive studies have shown that miRNA expression in the skin changes remarkably during distinct stages of the hair cycle in humans, mice, goats and sheep. RESULTS: In this study, the skin tissues were harvested from...
