Characterization of RNA Editing in Oxidative and Glycolytic Skeletal Muscles of Yak.

ABSTRACT: Fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle fibers not only differ in metabolic characteristics and physiological functions but also significantly influence the texture of livestock meat. RNA editing represents an important post-transcriptional regulatory process that can influence both gene expression and the resulting protein function. However, studies on RNA editing events in yak muscle remain limited. This study systematically identified RNA editing events in yak biceps femoris (BF, n = 3) and obliquus externus abdominis (OEA, n = 3) using transcriptomic data, discovering 17,713 unique editing sites, most located in non-coding regions. Within coding regions, 3350 sites were detected, with 1195 resulting in non-synonymous amino acid substitutions. Further analysis rev
