Putative binding sites for mir ‐125 family miRNAs in the mouse Lfng 3'UTR affect transcript expression in the segmentation clock, but mir‐125a‐5p is dispensable for normal somitogenesis

Conclusions: These results suggest that mir‐125a sites in the Lfng 3'UTR influence transcript turnover in both mouse and chicken embryos, and support the existence of position‐dependent regulatory mechanisms in the PSM. They further suggest the existence of compensatory mechanisms that can rescue the loss of mir‐125a‐5p in mice. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
