Identification and application of piwi-interacting RNAs from seminal plasma exosomes in Cynoglossus semilaevis
Abstract Background Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) have been linked to epigenetic and post-transcriptional gene silencing of retrotransposons in germ line cells, particularly in spermatogenesis. Exosomes are important mediators of vesicle transport, and the piRNAs in exosomes might play an important...
