Cloning of the quail PIWI gene and characterization of PIWI binding to small RNAs.

Cloning of the quail PIWI gene and characterization of PIWI binding to small RNAs.

The PIWI protein regulates gene expression at the epigenetic and post-transcriptional level with a variety of endogenous small non-coding RNAs. In poultry, the biological function of the PIWI protein and PIWI binding to small RNAs had not been determined. The present study cloned and analyzed the se...
