Comprehensive Analysis of miRNA and mRNA Expression Profiles during Muscle Development of the Longissimus Dorsi Muscle in Gannan Yaks and Jeryaks.

ABSTRACT: A hybrid offspring of Gannan yak and Jersey cattle, the Jeryak exhibits apparent hybrid advantages over the Gannan yak in terms of production performance and other factors. The small non-coding RNAs known as miRNAs post-transcriptionally exert a significant regulatory influence on gene expression. However, the regulatory mechanism of miRNA associated with muscle development in Jeryak remains elusive. To elucidate the regulatory role of miRNAs in orchestrating skeletal muscle development in Jeryak, we selected longissimus dorsi muscle tissues from Gannan yak and Jeryak for transcriptome sequencing analysis. A total of 230 (DE) miRNAs were identified in the longissimus dorsi muscle of Gannan yak and Jeryak. The functional enrichment analysis revealed a significant enrichment of target genes
