Structural conservation versus functional divergence of maternally expressed microRNAs in the <it>Dlk1/Gtl2 </it>imprinting region

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>MicroRNAs play an important functional role in post-transcriptional gene regulation. One of the largest known microRNA clusters is located within the imprinted <it>Dlk1/Gtl2 </it>region on human chromosome 14 and mouse ch...
