Brief Summary: This molecular study explored the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in mammalian sex determination. It used bulk and single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) alongside time-course expression analyses in a knockout mouse model to assess the role of the miR-17~92 cluster in this process.miRNAs are small, single-stranded, non-coding RNA molecules, 21 to 23 nucleotides in length, that mediate post-transcriptional gene regulation.
