Selection of reference genes for microRNA analysis associated to early stress response to handling and confinement in Salmo salar

Abstract MicroRNAs are key non-coding RNA molecules that play a relevant role in the regulation of gene expression through translational repression and/or transcript cleavage during normal development and physiological adaptation processes like stress. Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase c...
