Examining the roles of microRNAs in Aedes aegypti and Drosophila melanogaster spermatogenesis

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNAs that act as regulators of gene expression at the post-transcriptional level in plants and animals. In animal cells, miRNAs typically bind with imperfect complementation to sequences within the 3′ UTRs of mRNAs, thereby inhibiting the translation of the t...
