A latent pro-survival function for the mir-290-295 cluster in mouse embryonic stem cells.

abstract：:One of the striking findings of comparative developmental genetics was that expression patterns of core transcription factors are extraordinarily conserved in bilaterians. However, it remains unclear whether cis-regulatory elements of their target genes also exhibit common signatures associated with conserved embryoni...
