    Screening of reference genes for microRNA analysis in the study of solider caste differentiation of Formosan subterranean termite Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki

    The soldier caste differentiation is a complex process that is governed by the transcriptional regulation and post-transcriptional regulation. microRNAs (miRNAs) are noncoding RNAs that control a wide range of...
