mmu-mir-708: Mmu-mir-708 is a microRNA that was synthesized and duplexed with the same sequences in miRBase [PMC4703836]. It is one of the 10 differentially expressed (DE) miRNAs with the highest degree in a network analysis [PMC6833270]. In a study on rodents subjected to perinatal protein malnutrition, mmu-mir-708 was found to be increased at 21 days of life [PMC9127546]. It, along with mmu-miR-879, had a total of 349 validated target genes in the miRWalk database [PMC5372868]. The primers used for mmu-mir-708 were identified by their specific IDs [PMC5372868]. Furthermore, mmu-mir-708 was significantly upregulated in the study (fold change ≥ 2 and p value < 0.05) [PMC5372868].
