Effect of Short Tandem Target Mimic miR-5110 on Melanogenesis in Melanocytes of Alpaca (Vicugna pacos) [PDF]
Current Issues in Molecular BiologyMicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in the regulation of melanogenesis and coat color in mammals. Short tandem target mimics (STTMs) have been used to block the functions of small RNA in animals and plants.
