Application of the targeted sequencing approach reveals the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) repertoire in microRNA genes in the pig genome
Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are recognized as gene expression regulators, indirectly orchestrating a plethora of biological processes. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), one of the most common genetic variations in the genome, is established to affect miRNA functioning and influence complex trait...
