Abstract excerpt
Meg9/Mirg (maternally expressed gene 9/microRNA containing gene), a non-coding RNA (ncRNA) comprising many alternatively splicing isoforms, has been identified as maternally expressed in mouse and sheep, but its imprinting status and splicing variants are still unknown in cattle. In this study, we found three splicing variants of the cattle MEG9 gene expressed in a tissue-specific manner. A single nucleotide...
