MicroRNAs control mRNA fate by compartmentalization based on 3′ UTR length in male germ cells

Abstract Background Post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression can be achieved through the control of mRNA stability, cytoplasmic compartmentalization, 3′ UTR length and translational efficacy. Spermiogenesis, a process through which haploid male germ cells differentiate into spermatozoa, re...
