Retrotransposon gag-like 1 (RTL1) and the molecular evolution of self-targeting imprinted microRNAs
Abstract Background Transcription of the antisense strand of RTL1 produces a sense mRNA that is targeted for degradation by antisense microRNAs transcribed from the sense strand. Translation of the mRNA produces a retrotransposon-derived protein that is implicated in placental development. The sense...
