A number of natural microRNA (miRNA) hairpins have been found in clusters of multiple identical or different copies, suggesting that effects of miRNAs can be enhanced and multiple genes can be...
Since the discovery that, with careful attention and manipulation, stem cells could be maintained in culture, one of the holy grails of transgenic research has been the ability to use spermatogonial...
