piRNA pathway is essential for generating functional oocytes in golden hamster
2021-03-22
Abstract excerpt
Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are small RNAs predominantly expressed in germ cells that are critical for gametogenesis in various species. However, PIWI-deficient female mice are fertile and mouse oocytes express a panel of small RNAs that do not appear widely representative of mammals, and piRNA function in the oogenesis of other mammals has therefore remained elusive. Recent studies revealed the small RNA and...
