Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

piRNA is a novel class of small single strand RNA that were recently isolated from testes of the mammals. These RNAs are bigger (26～31 nt) than most previously described small RNAs (21～23 nt) and are associated with Piwi-subfamily members of the Argonaute protein family.
