Expression and Regulation Profile of Mature MicroRNA in the Pig: Relevance to Xenotransplantation
The pig is an important source of meat production and provides a valuable model for certain human diseases. MicroRNA (miRNA), which is noncoding RNA and regulates gene expression at the posttranscriptional level, plays a critical role in various biological processes. Studies on identification and fu...
