The characterisation of piRNA-related 19mers in the mouse
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Piwi interacting RNA, or piRNA, is a class of small RNA almost exclusively expressed in the germline where they serve essential roles in retrotransposon silencing. There are two types, primary and secondary piRNA, and the latter is a...
