Characterization of microRNA expression profiles and the discovery of novel microRNAs involved in cancer during human embryonic development.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs), approximately 22-nucleotide non-coding RNA molecules, regulate a variety of pivotal physiological or pathological processes, including embryonic development and tumorigenesis. To obtain comprehensive expression profiles of miRNAs in human embryos, we characterized miRNA expressio...
