LncRNAs and miRNAs has been reported to play important regulation roles in skeleton growth. This research elucidates the molecular interplay between long noncoding RNA LncMPEG1 and miRNA miR-2c in the biocalcification process of shell formation. The study establishes LncMPEG1 as a molecular sponge f...
