Expression of multiple artificial microRNAs from a chicken miRNA126-based lentiviral vector.

<h4>Background</h4>The use of RNAi in both basic and translational research often requires expression of multiple siRNAs from the same vector.<h4>Methods/principal findings</h4>We have developed a novel chicken miR126-based artificial miRNA expression system that can express...
