Previously, we identified a Z-chromosome-linked microRNA (miR-2954), whose characteristics strongly suggested that it plays an important role in avian dosage compensation (https://t.co/h0sYNXGKh0).

Male birds have two Z sex chromosomes, indicating a need for dosage compensation. In a recent seminar talk by Amir Fallahshahroudi, we got to hear about a highly conservative miRNA that targets dosage-sensitive genes. 🧬 https://t.co/Ji0t0xq8r2 #LiU #LiUB
