Epididymal acquired sperm microRNAs modify post-fertilization embryonic gene expression
1 Sept 2024
Abstract excerpt
Sperm small RNAs have emerged as important non-genetic contributors to embryogenesis and offspring health. A subset of sperm small RNAs is thought to be acquired during epididymal transit. However, the identity of the specific small RNAs transferred remains unclear. Here, we employ Cre/Lox genetics to generate germline- and epididymal-specific Dgcr8 knockout (KO) mice to investigate the dynamics of sperm...
