Variability in porcine microRNA genes and its association with mRNA expression and lipid phenotypes
Abstract Background Mature microRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in repressing the expression of a wide range of mRNAs. The presence of polymorphic sites in miRNA genes and their corresponding 3′UTR binding sites can disrupt canonical conserved miRNA–mRNA pairings, and thus modify gene expressio...
