Human placental piwi-interacting RNA transcriptome is characterized by expression from the DLK1-DIO3 imprinted region

Abstract The placenta is vital to embryonic development and requires a finely-tuned pattern of gene expression, achieved in part by its unique epigenetic landscape. Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are a class of small-non-coding RNA with established roles as epigenetic regulators of gene expression,...
