Small noncoding RNAs (sncRNA) are becoming recognized for their participation in a diverse range of cellular functions. In this study, their global characterization in human spermatozoa from donors wi
There have been substantial researches focused on the roles of microRNAs (miRNA) and Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNA) delivered from mammalian spermatozoa, comparatively little is known about the role of
Total RNAs were extracted from the purified caput epididymal spermatozoa of mouse (C57BL/6, 2 months old) and rats (Sprague Dawley, 450g young adult), and the 18 - 45 nt fraction small RNAs were subje
