circMAPKBP1 functions as a miR-143-y sponge to regulate quail myoblast proliferation and differentiation
The quail (Coturnix japonica) is an economically important poultry species and a useful avian model for muscle biology. Although circular RNA (circRNA)–miRNA competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks have been described in chicken and duck skeletal muscle, their roles in quail remain poorly defined. We identified cir...
