Circular RNA expression in turkey skeletal muscle satellite cells is significantly altered by thermal challenge.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Understanding the genetic mechanisms behind muscle growth and development is crucial for improving the efficiency of animal protein production. Recent poultry studies have identified genes related to muscle development and explored how environmental stressors, such as temperature extremes, affect protein production and meat quality. Non-coding RNAs, including circular RNAs (circRNAs), play crucial roles in modulating gene expression and regulating the translation of mRNAs into proteins. This study examined circRNA expression in turkey skeletal muscle stem cells under thermal stress. The objectives were to identify and quantify circRNAs, assess circRNA abundance following RNAse R depletion, identify differentially expressed circRNAs (DECs), and predict potential microRN
