Dataset for miRNA expression analysis in the peripheral white blood cells of beef heifers at weaning.

ABSTRACT: Subfertility in beef heifers leads to a substantial economic loss for producers and beef industry. To overcome this problem, producers require an efficient system to discriminate beef heifers with varying reproductive potential as early as possible. MicroRNAs are short non-coding RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression. Herein, we profiled the miRNAs in peripheral white blood cells (PWBC) of beef heifers at weaning to investigate the differences in the beef heifers with varying reproductive outcomes. Blood samples from Angus-Simmental crossbred heifers were collected at weaning. The blood was processed to extract the PWBC pellet and was stored at -80 °C until further processing. After the synchronization of estrus and breeding protocol (artificial insemination (AI) follow
